This week's member spotlight shines on Jacky Tart the Texan behind etsy shop TexasTarts1. She lovingly cuts, shapes and sands each jewelry piece by hand out of recycled vinyl records. Her jewelry is a lovely mix of old vinyl with a modern stylish twist. She loves creating new uses for discarded objects. Jacky is a super example of making recycling fun.

She's always looking for new ways to wear music and insists that "No good music was harmed in the making of these items."

I first enjoyed seeing and touching her vinyl jewelry at the Jingle Bash in December and later discovered that her pieces are also available at Make Studio in the Bishop Arts District.
