Upcycled & Recycled Tires: Art, Home Decor & More!

Are you tired of the same old upcycled art?
I know I sometimes tire of seeing the same things over and over again. 
Often it seems like a lot of the same old ideas just go round and round!
Sometimes when I'm looking for new ideas I feel like I'm treading water
Well I gotta run, I'm getting tired!
Enjoy the post!
