With great pleasure FreeStyle Reloaded introduce you a new Italian Eco-Artist, Paolo Lo Giudice: “Who makes intellectual work usually, in his free time, needs a manual jobs to get off from a sedentary lifestyle. I started 10 years ago looking at the pieces of broken moto bikes from my sons, combined that with a passion for modern and contemporary art. Now I use plastic, wood, leather and metal who offers more possibilities of composition and it’s very challenge!”

“I wondered if when an object ceases its original function, automatically becomes a waste. I think that the end of the objects depends on the person who takes care of them. Personally I can recover and reuse things trying to give them a new aesthetic dimension thus prolonging their life cycle”.

In 2004 Paolo started with his first exibithion to bring his unique creations all around Italy and never stopped! To find out more have a look at FreeStyle Reloaded’s site or to Paolo Lo Giudice’s gallery.

Giovanni Scafuro is an italian artist who began to work in artisans shops where he learned and applied the art of these amazing manual trades to create complementary furnishings.

Daily use objects change image! He says “this is a change of route in object’s life, thanks to recycle and reuse concept”. His true love goes to forks and so he’ve created jewels and house furnishing reusing them.

Objects and materials are for Giovanni an inexhautible source of inspiration and life interpretation: his manufactoring is in continuous metamorphosis, indeed… in progress!

And now Have a look at Giovanni Scafuro’s website

Growth in the culture of recycling and conservation Gibi learned first to decorate herself with her fantasies and then did it with others.

Each pin, each cap, every creative necklace is a mirror of her mood, of thoughts and situations.

Scrap of all kinds, costume jewelry, lace, fabrics, wood wastes, toys forgotten by the fast growing, parfume samples, pearls, ribbons, braids and glue marry sensations that come from outside and inside of this artist.

Little things became real symbolic messages because they are full of stories and smells of past; concepts to wear, decorative rhetoric.

You can find Gibi in her things and in her mail gibi.geppo@live.it or ceraunavolta.vintage@live.it

Because everyday we can learn something about how to recycle stuff around us into great and unique art!

Thanks again isadigue!

Jane Eldershaw wrote a book about her creations with an amazing title too “junk jewelry”. In her blog she says “junk jewellery is my name for jewelry made from found objects”. Here you can see just an example of what she likes to create: a necklace from old keys, calulator and champagne tops. Earrings from keyboard buttons. You can see more on Jane’s blog.

Now create yours and write your ideas, photos and videos at refashinoso@shicon.com.

There’s nothing better than lots of colour splashes on your dress to put you in a good mood!

Fernando Brizio is a talented product designer from Portugal, responsible for some of the most creative recycled art and fashion.
Like this Felt-tip Pens Dress: by meticulously inserting coloured felt-tip pens, nib down, into a white dress fitted with little pockets, the ink is bleeds into the fabric in a sequence of splodges. The idea behind the dress is that the owner slips the pens into the pockets herself just before entering the party or whatever she’s attending and bursting into messy bloom. As you can see the felt tip pens are inserted in the small pockets of the dress. Within an hour – to one and a half hours the colored ink bleeds into the fabric and creates a one-off design for each occasion. The owner can then clean the dress and color it in a different way for each time they wear it.
