The first of my two submissions to the ReUse Project 2 show in Tel Aviv
The theme was paper... I lay rolls of the stuff down all the time to paint on in the space I have. I figured why not reuse those and mashup some of the stencils from the last few years? :-)
I'm glad that the MBTA isn't wasting its scarce resources on frivolities like having their own signs made. I mean, there's nothing wrong with scrounging for old traffic signs and using the reverse side, right? Waste not, want not.
I cannot help myself. Here’s a story about records, books, postage, recycling and reuse.
This box started out life containing 16 copies of Patrick O’Farrell’s paperback book with ISBN 0-86840-635-X, sent from the University of New South Wales Press (printed on the box). It must have been sent to Readings bookshop in Carlton, who reused it to send something to Dr Phillip Law (1912-2010) at his home in Canterbury (address label on the bottom of the box, unfortunately Post Paid Australia with no postmark). Dr Law used it to store excess publications about Antarctica (inscribed on the box in his own hand). On the death of Dr Law in 2010, the box ended up with us, the eScholarship Research Centre, who have been working with Dr Law on his papers since the mid 1980s. We have the final material from Dr Law now processed and boxed in special National Library of Australia boxes, ready for transfer to their custody.
Looking up the book in the National Library of Australia’s Trove catalogue and checking the ISBNs of the different editions reveals that this box originally held the third edition of The Irish in Australia, published in 2000.
I needed a box to send 18 copies of a book we have just published (November 2011), Founders, Firsts and Feminists: Women Leaders in Twentieth-century Australia, to a conference being held in Canberra next week. This box did the job nicely!
BETTER TO TRANSPORT Btt.

COULD AN OPEN SOURCE RECYCLED PLASTIC TRICYCLE BE YOUR NEXT FORM OF TRANSPORT?
Better To Transport is a tricycle made from large prefabricated sheets of recycled plastic. The artist believes that access to affordable, environmentally-friendly and high quality transportation should be a human right. The bike’s design and blueprints are open-source, so that the bikes can be produced at a low-cost using an oven, a press, a shredder, and plastic waste collected from the local area. The aims of this project are to demonstrate the potential of recycling, to encourage reuse of plastic waste, and to create new business opportunities.
For the green theme, I decided to go eco-green for the week. The color green would have posed a bit challenging. Plus I'm a crunchy nut, so green fits.
I get some of my reuse savvy from my mom. She was less about being green and more about using everything to its last drop. That's just the way it is when you live extremely modestly in the country. I still have her jar of buttons. She would not only keep lost buttons, but also cut the buttons off of any shirt before throwing it away. All of them ended up in the Miracle Whip jar.
Yes, that is an 85 above the label.
Yes, that is 1985.

I had been saving some wine corks and old spreaders to re- purpose so took advantage of the theme to make these party spreaders. I put the 'how to' on my blog at www.yarnigras.blogspot.com
Once I'm done with a craft project involving felt, I recycle the bits & pieces into two things : the biggest pieces wil be re-used for other projects, and the smallest pieces will be cut into tiny pieces to make stuffing for other projects ...
As part of Texas Public Radio's on-going recycling initiative, TPR & spare parts partnered to support art education & the environment Saturday, August 4th (11-2 pm) at the Guadalupe Gallery of the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center. This event was sponsored by the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center, Greater San Antonio Recycling Council & San Antonio River Authority. We celebrated art, best recycling practices & the creative reuse of everyday materials.
Greg Safarik of Hologic describes how the company has begun using custom made reusable shipping covers for the machinery, eliminating the need for cardboard and non-recyclable packing materials.

Wicked!
The Army established Fort Sheridan in 1887. Most of the existing buildings were designed by Holabird & Roche with the others being Army Quartermaster Corps standardized plans. Landscape architect, Ossian C. Simonds designed the layout of the fort. The most distinctive feature of Fort Sheridan is the water tower which anchors the main barracks building and the parade ground. It was originally 228 feet high, but was shortened in 1949 by 60 feet due to structural issues.
In 1989, Fort Sheridan landed on the first Base Realignment and Closure list and most of it closed in 1993 with a small portion remaining with the Army as a Reserve installation. The Town of Fort Sheridan was created and it's probably one of the finest examples of adaptive reuse of former military property in the country.
Fort Sheridan is on the National Register #80001379, and is also a National Historic Landmark.
