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).
Tidying up a few unfinished pieces. Very satisfying.
Alison, a quilting friend has just gifted me a bag of scraps so part of the time was spent in tearing these into strips for hooking and knotting. Lots of threads everywhere.
I have also stripped a table lamp shade of it's old covering and I intend to create a BoHo type cover out of fabric strips
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
2010: Art and design students were encouraged to investigate what local businesses throw away, what their neighbors throw away and what they throw away. The answers to these questions became the material for the students’ projects.
12th century panel from the Norman cathedral, part of a sequence reused in the 14th century in the nave clerestorey. The heads seen here are modern restorations.
York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the medieval art of most English cathedrals and churches, and it thus possesses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
Sadly this fortune was not matched by the Minster's vulnerability to fire which has ravaged the building in three major outbreaks, the worst in 1829 when a madman set fire to the precious medieval furniture of the choir, which was destroyed along with the organ and the high vaulted ceiling of the eastern half of the church. Only 11 years after this tragedy a careless workman accidentally set fire to the nave roof, which also lost it's vault. Both roofs were rebuilt in replica, but a further fire caused by lightning strike in 1984 destroyed the south transept roof (rebuilt 4 years later).
Most medieval cathedrals were provided with stone vaulted ceilings precisely to avoid the problems suffered here, but York's builders found that building on such an unprecedentedly large scale brought limitations, thus all the Minster's high ceilings had to be built of wood in imitation of stone. An Achilles' Heel, but a beautiful one!

I though it would be expedient to get reusable shopping bags. These sturdy, cheap, roomy, waterproof bags from Ikea are great.
Dan told me "I figured this would last a day or two; I put this on last December and it's still in good shape."
What better way to sell the most delicious sunflower oil on the planet than from a used coke bottle?
An accessory I made from a black pillow case that Rudy chewed a hole in. It helps shorten the time for heating in the solar oven and is just the right size to fit a tortilla for warming up. I never got around to painting my jars black for use in the solar oven so now I can use any jar and a small one works quite well. I just don't tighten the lid down so steam can escape.
Not yet grouted. I used two different adhesives so it will take a few days to dry - yikes, I'm cutting it close! Hopefully I can get it grouted before the challenge deadline of May 31st.
Discarded microwave plate, small river rocks, buttons, 2 broken pieces of fused glass (circa 1980's), vitreous glass tiles, stained glass, Millefiori, blue decorative rocks, iridescent glass, jewelry charm, glass gems.
The only thing I purchased was the Millefiori. All the rest were donated by friends and family.
Around 1050, the kingdom of Strathclyde was conquered by the increasingly powerful Scots. King David I founded a new diocese in Glasgow in 1114, and the old church at Govan was gradually abandoned. As for the Britons themselves: “They were no longer Cumbri but had become ‘Scots’ like their new political masters. Inevitably, as time wore on, the deeds of their forefathers began to fade from memory. Soon only the sculptured stones remained, a handful of monuments scattered across the land, to bear mute witness to a forgotten people.” (Tim Clarkson)
