Lets Upcycle Together

Are you wanting to learn how to upcycle but not sure where to start?
You can start right away with some of the free tutorials I have available on the website.

Further down the page are two small upcycle projects to get you started.

Discover the Art, Travel, and Op Shopping Adventures of Jenny - The Upcycologist ®

As a New Zealand artist and travel enthusiast with a passion for op shopping, I’m excited to share my discoveries with you. My website is a creative hub that showcases my artwork, tutorials, and travel stories from both local and international destinations.

If you share my love for op shopping, you’re in luck. I enjoy hunting for hidden gems during my travels and love to showcase my finds to my followers. Some treasures I keep for myself, while others are available for purchase (see below). Join me on my journey and let’s explore the world of art, creativity, and secondhand treasures together.
