I covered these cans with air drying clay. Before I colored the clay with food color (nothing else was at home). After drying, I embellished them with gold foil (metal, not real gold:-)). Finish was a matt clear coat.

For 120 pictures in 2020 #111 "Upcycled", This garden ornament is made from recycled scrap metal. It is fairly old and in desperate need of repainting, but it still stands ready to remove garden pests from our plants (this is an aloe vera our neighbor gave us - still need to make a proper garden plot for it).
The theme for this week is Wabi-sabi. A Japanese term for beauty in imperfection and impermanence, especially in the natural world (as I understand it).
This is the remains of a bicycle that was once abandoned in the woods. The tree grew around it, enveloping the mechanism. Unfortunately, the rest of the bike recently vanished, leaving only the crankset.

it started 2007 with the art project of my friends "Gastplätze" www.maboart.ch/archiv/Doku_gem/gastplatz.htm and ended 2020 with shoppers and bags, my friend made out of the panels.

As the Flaneur With A Camera stood composing this photograph, made with a Leica M5 and 50mm Summicron and Ilford Delta 400 film, the words of John Lennon spun unexpectedly through is mind, "...I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go..."

Are inspired by the selkie folklore, shape-shifting beings and their transformative powers.
In order to shapeshift they had to cast off their sealskins. Within these magical skins lay the transformative power to return to seal form, and therefore to the sea.
And as much of the transformative power lies in the Selkie's coat, there is transformative power in the process of creating selkie costumes by animating pre-loved and discarded textiles from a two-dimensional flat surface into a three-dimensional object.

....the conversion of a stable block of an old mansion (long since demolished and built on) makes for an unique home in the city of Bristol.
A dear photographer friend Neil, has kindly taken some lovely pics of 'The Loft', here's a small sample - more to be added soon! Made this shelf unit from an old CD unit bought at aboot sale for £1. Added some wallpaper samples and some pastel shades and hey presto! Blog:

Taking a moment to think about how to upcycle some of my old work clothes. I have no designs or expectations for them, I just like the fabrics still. Most likely they will stay packed in a box until I have a bunch of moments together in time to be creative with them. Maybe an artistic idea will appear in a new moment somewhere along the way.
Whoever said 'Live in the moment' was very wise...
The patterns were my Grandmother's. She was an amazing seamstress and she sewed everything on her Singer No. 66. I don't sew, but I do know how to glue, tape and staple. The little vase was something I made in high school art class sometime in the 70's.

I made some fun baby blankets from vintage bed spread and bed linens. The colors were just so much fun!
These are the tiny model, standing just 3.25" (8 cm) high. The body armature is a blown out chicken egg. (They're for sale @ purtybird.etsy.com.)
Responding to the central idea of their unit of inquiry: 'living things cannot survive if we do not take action', the children wanted to re-use waste and natural materials in their explorations in the atelier. They explored different ways to re-use waste paper from the school office to make "marbol paper" (through the marbling process) and using pigment inks. They also decided to make the following out of clay, wire, beads and twigs from the garden:
"a necklis"
"a bralislet"
and a "tree for (hanging your glasses and) gelri" (jewellery) on..
...there has been so much more over the years done that isn't captured in a picture.I wish I had... Since I have this account, I 'll try to keep a file of all the gift wrapping I do, both for friends / family and the Etsy shop. Running this shop is to become more than just happy crafting hours...a more professional approach is what I wish/intent for and packaging is a very important part of it...
Here, are just a few picks of recently made packaging...

Georgi Porgy saw a light bulb and socket, He swiped them fast and stuck them in his pocket, When all the materials came his way, Georgi Porgy made them play. :-)

Another way to say he's doing a really good job !
Reclamation Blanket: You get a lot done when you can't go anywhere.
ETA: I feel this deserves/requires an explanation to qualify as upcycled... Every color is a "sample" from a yarn company to see how their colors look in person. The yarn shop I worked for had this set and when it closed, my boss gave this to me.
Since most colors are about 20 yards or less, some crafters would have tossed them - it means a lot of ends being woven in, as opposed to starting with some new, big skeins with just a handful of ends.

Cleaning out the closets can be fruitful, not only selling things on Ebay but repurposing. I never cared for this dress as a swing-sundress, but with a few alterations, I love it as a wiggle dress,
Another of the upcycled creations of Donald. It's a model chainsaw using a piece of original 'Oregon' chain and all sorts of other bits of steel from the scrap-heap!
This is in serious contention for the Upcyled World Cup so there is a strong chance Donald will win back his own creation!
I have shown this project here on Flickr before, but am just blogging it now :)
