Shari Elf reminds us that discarded objects carry their own stories — and when we reuse them, we’re not just creating art, we’re giving those stories new life. ♻️

Meet Shari Elf, owner of Art Queen in Joshua Tree, who shares how upcycled fashion becomes wearable art and a powerful symbol of sustainable creativity in a world dominated by fast fashion.

From transforming discarded garments into unique pieces to exploring how our clothing choices reflect our values, Shari reveals why upcycling is more than just a trend—it’s a movement toward conscious consumption and authentic self-expression. This isn’t just a conversation about fashion—it’s about creativity, environmental responsibility, and reclaiming our relationship with what we wear.

Listen to Episode 34 with @shari.elf on Planet People Podcast now and discover why upcycling isn’t just about fashion—it’s about changing how we think about consumption, creativity, and our impact on the planet. Link in bio! 💚🌎

I began my art career selling my good and sturdy Art from Trash at the flea markets of LA in around 1993.Some girls in a talent management office collected my art. One day I dropped off some art and they shared a conversation that had taken place last time I visited

You'll never guess who was here today!!!

Brad Pitt?!!

No! Shari Elf!!

I visited the @worldfamouscrochetmuseum when I was in Joshua Tree, CA last week, and was absolutely charmed by this amazing little gem. I crocheted a little sand seal plushie from The Legend of Zelda and brought it to its native habitat in the desert, and was fortunate enough to meet @shari.elf in person to gift it to her! If you find yourself in Joshua Tree, CA, be sure to drop by this fun little stop, and be sure to say hi to Shari!

📍 World Famous Crochet Museum
