Pot Rack from Art?


YES!! 
Go to your favorite home decor store 
and buy 1-2 metal wall-art pieces.


If you buy two, bolt them together.  



Hang from "s" hooks and chain segments.



Make sure you use ceiling anchors for your eyebolts 
to secure them. 


Use more "s" hooks to hang the pots.




And Voila! 


POT RACK!!


I'd been wanting a pot rack since I moved in, but I couldn't find exactly the right one. I wanted a HUGE pot rack, but it seemed that all the the ones I could find were tiny. As you can see, I have a substantial island in my kitchen, and I needed a pot rack to match.



 So, the idea came to me that I needed to look beyond the kitchen to find my solution. And there it was... staring me in the face.
Wall Art = Pot Rack
I absolutely love it, and use it every day!

Leather Peter Pan Collar -



I have been so inspired by the fun little accessory that has become very popular.  The Peter Pan Collar necklace.  Looking at all of the styles that are out there, finding exactly what I wanted escaped me.  Well, this caused the little voice in my head to say...you can do that!

That is exactly what happened.  I drew up a pattern, used some scrap leather and some jewelry embellishments.  Viola.  New statement piece.  Love how lightweight it turned out and  the simplicity of it. 

If you want to do this project, instructions and the pattern for this Peter Pan Collar of Leather are at www.whimsyfunk.com.  Or click here for the link to the pattern.
