Déjà vu? Well this was highly inspired from the LEGO City Orange Recycle/Garbage Truck 7991 set. I really loved that set to be honest, but it's just too small to go with the rest of my vehicle scale. So I did my own version, just took the inspiration from that set. Modify the design a bit. Max will fit 6 minifigs in the cab. I didn't want to add the hydraulic axle. Just preferred this look better.
Bouquets to Art design by Tuan Tran
Art: Hovor II by El Anatsui, 2004
woven bottle caps and copper wire piece commissioned for the opening of the New Museum.
Tuan specializes in using recycled materials; here crocheted telephone wire.
This is neither an antique shop, nor a waste disposal. I have seen this in Gyantse (Tibet, China) in a rather simple workshop specialized in recycling used pumps and motors.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / favs!
I made this mini to record our summer outdoor "finds". My plan is to take pictures of all the nature-y things that the boys and I find as we are outside. We have tons of lizards, frogs, birds, and other animals in our area and the boys and I love checking them out. I plan to include pictures and write in the information about the discovery. Kind of a little science discovery notebook with pics.
I used a 12 x 12 sheet of cardboard cut into 4 x 6 rectangles. I used the HA raindrop stamp, the HA shadow screen stamp on the tree and the HA Explore and Discover stamp. I also used the HA Three Ferns stamp on the interior. There are ten pages and tags in the album and a front and back cover.
All the cardstock and pp came from my scrap pile. The pp on the tree is Flair and the other green pp is Daisy D's. The chipboard tree is Maya Road. The metal "tree swing" is from Making Memories oldddd metal line and the fuzzy date sticker is Prima.Ink is Tim Holtz Walnut Ink and Peeled Paint. TFL
Gigantic TVs and some not-so-big all shrink wrapped for their trip somewhere to be torn apart and their valuable components salvaged. Yes, it's a wasteful system we live in. Places like this help mitigate some of the negatives. It's the least we can do. Support your local recycling efforts!
(This location accepts anything electronic where they salvage the valuable, re-usable, and dangerous components.)
I went to the Sugar Bowl this weekend in New Orleans. First, I drove to my brother's house in Georgia on Thursday. On Friday, we drove to N.O. and watched the Sugar Bowl. The game sucked as Bama got their butts handed to them.
In addition to that, we were tired after the game, so we just went back to the hotel room and crashed. No fun, no pictures....no WIN! On Saturday, we had some breakfast and then we drove back to Georgia.
The only saving grace for this whole trip is that I did manage to get some shots in a couple of places I don't go very often. This shot was taken at the Recycling Center in Auburn, Alabama. There were HUGE piles of wine bottles, beer bottles, beer cans, etc. As soon as I saw this, I thought, "Geeze, these people drink a lot."
It was nice to see so many people (or a few VERY serious drinkers) recycling so much. This was a great facility that made it easy for people to drop off their recyclable materials.

Well I was trying to find #326 but found this in the recycling bin!!
But lucky the driver took it out.
This card was inspired by sneak peek #2 heroarts.com/blogs/club/2009/11/13/hero-arts-2010-catalog.... I love the tranquil, natural look of the peek and the gorgeous colours.
I must have been in recycling mode for this card! A while ago a friend gave me books of upholstery fabric samples so I used a couple of these fabrics on this card. The Happy Wishes image is stamped on a linen type fabric using distress inks and the bottom panel is a strip of faux suede. All of the buttons are recycled off old clothes and the twine is recycled too. I used the emboss resist technique on the top panel using white ep and shabby shutters and broken china distress ink. Finished off the card with some machine stitching.
There are quite a few 'scavenger' people in Bangkok who specialise in collecting and recycling garbage.
This 1963 Wales + Edwards float was picking up waste paper in Shepherds Bush in June 1987. Probably ex-Unigate, it was last registered in 1989. Of the two cars, the Vauxhall Cavalier was on the road between 1985-98, the Renault 5 between 1985-2000.
I used to visit this area rather too often back then; I bought a Beseler enlarger which got through bulbs at an alarming rate and which were only available at a supplier on the Goldhawk Road. I soon cut my losses and went back to Durst...

There is not a lot of color in my flower garden now, so I opted to put a boxwood plant into a recycle can. Thought I would get a snap with the 50mm and share.
I took a break from my work to make this desk-set. Made from recycled cans. Used vintage sheet music and a vintage hankie to cover the cans. Then used some vintage trim and buttons for embellishing. Used a vintage greeting card for the flower, trimmed with a little touch of vintage German glass glitter. So much fun--but now it's back to organizing my craft room.
While working at a recycle yard in New Orleans, my new boss gave me a tour of the property where they recycle steel and metals. He showed me this huge industrial gear (it's about 6' tall) that some artistically inclined heavy machine operator had set up in some rocks to make an oddly out of place art piece in the middle of a field of shredded debris.

This is what happens when you invite Photocillin over for a birthday party.....call social services.
Don't worry gentle viewers no kids were harmed in the making of this shot and no alcohol was drunk by miners... kids I'm not so sure but there were definitiely no miners at the party
Happy Birthday to Sally, whose gorgeous kids these are.
Gemäß einer im Jahr 2010 veröffentlichten Presse-Information des deutschen Umweltbundesamts schneiden Dosen im Vergleich zu Mehrweg-Getränkeverpackungen aus ökologischer Sicht nach wie vor schlecht ab.
Hier wurde eine Wand aus Getränkedosen "recycelt"
Recycling of scrap cans
According to a study published in 2010 Press release of the German Federal Environmental Agency cut doses than returnable beverage containers from an ecological perspective remains poorly.
Here was a wall of cans "recycled"
