Back when I had a Dell, I used to do things to try and make it like the Macs we used at school. This included installing a little custom "dock" application that emulated the OS X dock. Well, the recycle icon it came with was unacceptably hideous! And I also wanted to learn how to use a Gradient Mesh in illustrator. Enter: this custom Recycle bin icon! Made entirely in Illustrator with the gradient mesh tool. This little beauty is all vector! Aaaaah yeeeah!
I want to do more of these. Very satisfying!
this is the head-on shot while hung on the wall. note that the little bingo number/letter pieces spell out "BINGO" from left to right across the top of the record.
this was what i was working on for the BECA Gallery's 12x12x122 show, which i ended up bailing on cuz i didn't have time to finish it. i was gonna do 4 mixed media pieces like this, all on 12x12" canvas. despite bailing on the show, i did end up finishing this one piece, made from many, many bingo board game pieces and cards, plus a few other random board game pawns, lite brite pegs, and fortune cookie fortunes. all on top of a recycled CD, 45rpm single (record), and 12-inch LP (record). all epoxied together.
the top roulette like wheel actually spins freely. i'm trying to figure out a way to make it such that it won't spin off but still spins, but haven't figured that out yet. at the moment, though, you can put it up on the wall and spin the wheel, you just can't spin it too fast or it might come off.
it's a little hard to photograph so i tried to take several angles. it's fun flat but also cool hung on a wall, so i think you could display it either way, whatever suits your fancy.

Since I started making my own household products, I had to learn to remove labels from recycled containers. Here is what I learned : paper labels are glued onto the containers with either oil or water based glue.
Water based are easy -just soak it in the water and it comes off quite easily -sometimes with some rubbing.
Oil based ones are a bit trickier -you will have to use cloth with some oil on it and rub it for 5 to 10 minutes(better do something fun while doing it -can be boring). Of course, you could soak them in oil, but that requires lots of oil...
The third kind is paint on the container, like a laundry bottles or cleaner bottles is the worst, because you have to either sand it off(I didn't do it, because it can leave small scratches, that would gather dirt) or use nasty thing like acetone. I won't do that type much, but I needed bottles for laundry soap, so I did those.
There is one more kind of labels -they come out very easily just by carefully pealing them off -not sure, if their glue is water or oil based, but I like those the most-so try that first and see -it might just come off without any fuss.

This seems to date from about 1997 or 1998, which if memory serves was when recycling came to Brooklyn. We have an unused one of these somewhere.

Saving pretty boxes, ribbon and paper, and tying it all up with string, makes for a lovely little package.
This reindeer is made entirely of recycled waste: computer key pads, dolls, toys, cds, you name it, it's there.
A sample of me bringing things from work home to put in my recycling bin, since my previous post didn't have a recycling program.

The original plan was to make a wristband out of a used bicycle tire as I`ve seen it on a flea market, so I bought a button plier. But all I had left at home for the moment was a used tube, so I tried to create something with that tube. It didn`t really worked out as a wristband (detail picture in the corner), so I changed my plan and made a chain pant protection out of it.

Curbside recycling has finally arrived in Calgary! No longer do you have to collect all of your cardboard and other recyclables and make a big trip to the recycling centre (something a lot of people ignored doing), the recycling centre comes to you! Sadly this is one of the more exciting things that goes on in this city. Look at the snow, too! Someone better tell Calgary it is nearly April, and we are expecting a bunch more tonight :P?!

I do believe this is indeed a daily ritual ~ everyday there is something that we are disposing of which is recyclable so I or indeed my wife will take it out to the relevant bin which is collected on a weekly basis!

I washed the fabric flowers made out of jeans and they frayed beautifully.
These have now been decorated with recycled buttons and lace.
I had a load of tired old shirts and decided to combine two, (or even three), into one new one. I added pin tucks, ribbon or lace trim and new buttons.
