Pacific View Elementary School was closed a number of years ago due to changing demographics in its coastal Encinitas neighborhood. It's been vacant - and deteriorating - ever since, as the school district and community debate the site's future.

For all the pallet lovers like myself, here's an article all about up-cycle and reuse pallets as a creative material!
Lots of tips on where to find pallets, what to look for when you select pallets, how to work with pallets, design considerations and project ideas: here on A piece of Rainbow

Recycle and reuse! I have been saving wine corks forever! It's such a waste to toss them, they have so many uses. I made a couple of trivets from all my left over cork (these are all cork, none plastic... I use the plastic in wreaths).
Circl, a new circular building in Amsterdam’s Zuidas district, was opened in September 2017. Circl is an initiative of ABN AMRO. The bank plans to share the knowledge of circularity that it acquired while developing and constructing this circular building and to use this knowledge to advise clients. In the circular economy, materials are reused and virtually no waste is created. The design stage takes into account assembly in construction and deconstruction after use. Almost all of the materials used in creating Circl are second-hand, easily disassembled and able to be reused. ABN AMRO collected 16,000 pairs of old jeans from its employees which were incorporated into the ceiling and serve as insulation material. The window frames in the conference rooms were carefully removed from demolished office buildings. The furniture in Circl was previously used, and restored. There are 500 solar panels on the roof, and the building uses direct current (DC) instead of alternating current (AC) to minimise loss of energy resulting from conversion.
Circular use and sustainability
Besides conference rooms, Circl also has a restaurant, a rooftop bar and an exhibition space – all of which are open to the public. Circl’s circularity goes beyond the building itself. Circl employees wear uniforms produced from recycled plastic bottles, and the catering services employ people with occupational disabilities. The venue will host lectures and meetings focusing on social and economic issues, including new possibilities and solutions relating to the circular economy. ABN AMRO is fully committed to making the homes and offices that it finances in the Netherlands more sustainable and wants to improve the energy efficiency of its entire real estate portfolio to an average of label A by 2030. By implementing circular earning models and facilitating this transition, we aim to make a bigger contribution to creating a sustainable society.”
First fully circular economy
The Dutch government wants the Dutch economy to run completely on reusable raw materials by 2050. This will be a long and challenging process, but ABN AMRO is confident that the Netherlands will become the world’s first fully circular economy. An interim goal is a 50% reduction in the use of primary raw materials by 2030. It will be quite a challenge to maintain the volume of construction while reducing the use of primary construction materials by 30 million tonnes between now and 2030. All of the construction waste – from brick to grit – will have to serve as circular input. It is crucial that the government, business and consumers join forces to achieve this goal. The construction and real estate industry is a raw materials and energy intensive sector. These two things make a difference in improving sustainability. Reusing or upcycling of waste, increasing biomass applications and circular construction all help to reduce carbon emissions and make less intensive use of scarce raw materials. In building Circl, ABN AMRO experienced first-hand what opportunities exist, the creativity and solutions that are already present and where the challenges lies.
Homemade party favors from my nephews 2 year old birthday party.
These are made from leftover fabric to which I applied a vinyl, iron on coating (outside). The inside is leftover nylon (like from a thin raincoat). I used my serger to finish the edges thanks to my hubby who figured out why is was not working correctly.
Please copy and paste this to your website or blog as a reminder to all there are some amazing treasures in recycling, reusing, recreating...=) Thanks! The art journaling page is titled 'the beach' which I created as I dreamed of the beach during a snow storm in Alabama!! LOL

wall sculpture made of a real lobster shell (I ate this lobster! They served the meat of the tail in a bed of ice while the front half sat there and twitched its eyes at us. Not sure if it's an experience I'd repeat...) and found objects. originally meant to hang this way but i am thinking of rotating it so it looks like he's climbing down the wall. Creepier face views that way!
