ASHLEY SMITH/Times-News Pam Luper, co-owner of Funky Junk in Jerome, stands in her basement where she transforms some of the TREND 2010: old furniture she finds and breathes new life into them. Recycle it into art New materials aren’t always needed to create artistic masterpieces — and recycling isn’t limited to bins in the garage. Craft “The motto of our business is ‘bring- ing new life to old treasures,’” said Pam Luper of Twin Falls, who with her sister androom Becky Nobosel owns the home business Funky Junk. “We go to antique shows and auctions and all the thrift stores; we call it ‘junking.’” They find old house trim, wooden bowls and window frames to paint and revamp — they say it’s especially fun to art show the former owners of the materials what they did with them. scene And there’s no limit to what you can repurpose in 2010: Artists around south-central Idaho have made By Ariel Hansen ASHLEY SMITH/Times-News Times-News writer bracelets from dried potatoes, paintings This Funky Junk coat hook was made from an old end table from about the from old dishes, and necklaces from 1970s.

After decades of gift-giving from shelves of identical goods, home- made has new appeal. “People like the one-of-a-kind; they don’t like things made on assembly lines,”said Pam Luper of Twin Falls, co-owner of Funky Junk, a home business repurposing items from old houses. And if you can make the gift with the recipient, so much the better, said Robin Dober, owner of the Twin Falls craft studio Hands On. “Everyone’s schedules are so hectic anymore; sometimes they think the best gift you can gift someone is, instead of a present, your pres- ence,”she said. “They’re not just making something, they’re getting quality time with whoever they come with.” And in times of financial stress, it sure doesn’t hurt that homemade gifts not only are personal, but keep the money in the local economy.

What’s ahead in Trend 2010

This week, Times-News reporters are looking ahead at what 2010 will bring to south-central Idaho. Watch for one more special story in the Times-News and at Magicvalley.com: Saturday: Billboard evangelism, modular LDS chapel construction and other religious developments. Did you miss the Trend 2010 stories that published Sunday through Times-News file photo Thursday? Find them on a special page at Magicvalley.com. The value of handmade things has risen in recent years — inexpensive, meaningful gifts and unique pieces of art. Do-it-yourself stores like Hands On in Twin Falls have thrived, even as retailers struggled. Here, Harley Nickles paints at Hands On in 2005.
