What materials do you use for your ECO friendly products? We make jewelry and other goodies out of used skateboards.

Why did you decide to make ECO friendly products? Jann has been working in the recycling field for over 13 years, so it was second nature to us both. We are so happy to be able to take something that would usually be tossed and turn it into something creative and enjoyable.


What inspires you? A skateboard is made of layers of wood, some layers being coloured. The skateboard decks themselves bring great inspiration to us both. They come with such history and life to them, they are great to work with.

How long have you had your shop on Etsy? Just since February 2008.
Is this a job for you or a hobby? It's now Jeff's full time job, and Jann's part-time.



How did you get into your craft? Jann's been messing around with jewelry forever and Jeff is great with tools. We wanted to make something out of what would normally be nothing, so skateboards was a perfect mix for us both.

Do you have any advice for fellow Etsy shop owners? Take the best photos you can, read as much of the amazing info that you can on Etsy, and remember to support other Etsy sellers just like you would like to be.

Anything else you would like to add? Even doing something small can make a difference.
