Can recycled materials look good, too?

Last week was Earth Day. Recycling is mainstream these days. Gotta do your part.

They were once part of mundane and hardly noticed license plates and industrial signage. Old painted metal takes on a beautiful weathered patina that sings. Thats all I use for my handmade buckles.
