This was reused for the Benedictine cardinal Nicolò Tedeschi (d. 1445). In the centre of the front panel is a priestess wearing a tiara or headband and a palla (cloak). She has a fish (?) in her hand. On her right is a man wearing a tunic and a toga. He is holding a papyrus. Behind is a woman leaning on a stick and in front of her is a vase with a bird. The scene is either a wedding ritual or propitiatory one preceding a wedding, with the centralfigures representing a priestess or pronuba and the bride and groom. Cattedrale di Palermo, Italy
Time Capsules Reflections of Our Changing Community
This project was initiated in 2016 to develop a creative response to enhance the sidewalk conditions surrounding the new concrete wall being built at the CPS Energy Substation at Blanco Road. Roberto C. Treviño, City Councilman District 1 encouraged a partnership that would take advantage of the new construction, engage the neighborhood and educators, and improve the pedestrian experience through beautification. City of San Antonio’s Department of Arts & Culture, through its public art program, Public Art San Antonio (PASA), proposed to design a series of metal frames to display artwork by students from nearby schools.
PASA worked with the San Antonio-based arts non-profit, Spare Parts, to create a program for art students at North East Independent School District’s Nimitz Middle School, Lee High School, and the International School of the Americas, as well as lead Spare Parts Artist Kim Bishop. Over 150 students created artworks inspired by creative reuse and theme "change." Through a juried process, 15 artworks were chosen for final production and were installed in May 2018. Custom metal frames were designed and built by French & Michigan, a local multidisciplinary studio, workshop and gallery.

I love to use reusable bags when I go shopping. I have a whole bunch of them that I keep in my car for when I go to the store.

I was so excited to make something out of used canning lids: display bases.
Press a circle of utility fabric onto a canning lid (the part with the seal) pasted with YES bookbinding glue. Carefully paint glue on the top edge of the canning lid and wrap the fabric around. When you have two of these, YES glue them together.
You can use the base with a canning jar, another jar with similar diameter, or with Crate and Barrel roly wine glasses.
I think I love them since you can actually use the glass (or jar) and keep changing the display. I've got to get a few more glasses to make up some more.

Reinstalled some from 1st floor in new doorways upstairs. Removed a couple layers of paint with help of a heat gun, then sanded and oiled them.
Pulled this out of the trash can on our morning walk with Bonsai. Husband looked at me like I was crazy, but with a little reshaping and love... it could be a cool addition to our home.

Why clutter the landfills with disposable coffee cups when you can show how much you love the planet with this reusable travel mug emblazoned with the slogans
"reduce, reuse, recycle, replenish and restore"
In honor of Purse Palooza 2012, I made a reusable grocery bag. This project was also a great stash buster! totallystitchin.net/articles/purse-palooza-2012

I made this because I wanted a reuseable shopping bag that could fold up neatly and not get tangled up with all my worldly possessions in my ever-unruly everyday bag. I love how useful it is to have around, and I love how more and more people are getting used to the idea of people carrying their own reuseable bag. Fewer people give me funny looks these days!

Dear son of mine!
I wanted to tell you a little something about why the earth need us to think green thoughts. The nature around us is beautiful and I really want it to be like this for a really, really long time. That's why I try to teach you to recycle what can be recycled, reuse what can be reused and reduce the amount of stuff we have, because we don't really need all the stuff do we? No, really, we don't! I hope that you one day can be proud of me and understand why I think it is so important to try and do as much as we can to make sure we don't harm the nature of the earth just because we want thing right here and now - or we want to earn some quick bucks. We try to make it an everyday thing in our house, I hope that when you grow up this is an everyday thing for you too:
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE

We live in a disposable society.
It's easier to throw things out than to fix them.
We even give it a name... we call it RECYCLING.

Did You Know?
Proper disposal of used cooking oil is an important waste-management concern. Oil is lighter than water and tends to spread into thin and broad membranes which hinder the oxygenation of water. Because of this, a single litre of oil can contaminate as much as 1 million litres of water. Also, oil can congeal on pipes provoking blockages.
Because of this, cooking oil should never be dumped in the kitchen sink or in the toilet bowl. The proper way to dispose of oil is to put it in a sealed non-recyclable container and discard it with regular garbage.
Cooking oil can be recycled. It can be used to produce soap and biodiesel.
Bird feeded. Out of a plastic bucket. =) In Nova Scotia, the bucket would have been recyclable, but here it's not. So it's nice to see it put to use!
