Up-cycling China

[Ellene Meece]

Now when I say up-cycling china, I mean old broken or orphaned or otherwise unusable china! My sentimental roots can't envision a good condition tea set doing anything but serving tea! :) However, as we all know, many of our pieces of heirloom china do not stay in good condition. That's when my sentimental roots can't get rid of them either!

This discussion is for ideas to recycle or up-cycle as we say now a days into a new life and purpose. Everyone WELCOME to share!

Craftgawker has several ideas including these tea cup candles...

This idea would be especially good for tea cups with inside damage such as hairline cracks, stains or over-crazing.

Another idea for broken china saucers is this beautiful mosaic...

Of course, Donna's topless tea pot garden inspired this discussion...:)
