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.
Voila - the upcycled flower vases
For Smile on Saturday - "vases and flower pots"
this used to be a cigarette lighter. but now it has been re-purposed: a light conduit in my arsenal of props....you will be seeing corners and bits of it in my "catching rainbow" images.
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.

Something My Mom made back in the early 1960’s and which I’ve had ever since I was born…..
He’s stood the test of time rather well…the only thing he’s missing is the pom pom on his right foot.
I think he’s probably in better shape than I am for being only slightly older :)
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.

she's drinking her green smoothie out of an upcycled tea glass :) We often save our glass bottles to use for other things. It really saves on the amount of trash going out. We aren't able to have recycling pickup so this is easier than me lugging our recyclables to the nearest facility.
....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.
I made some fun baby blankets from vintage bed spread and bed linens. The colors were just so much fun!
The other kisses quilt was so popular I decided to make another. Approx 30” x 37” - 75cm x 93cm. For wall, baby or adult!
All thrifted cotton and linen.

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..
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.)
Agnes Riviera Drama is Scarlett O Hara in a deleted scene from Gone with the Wind. Agnes (Scarlett) spends a few moments pondering whether the red dress is the right thing to wear to Melanie's gathering. She loves the sumptuous velvet and the low cut low neckline shows off her full creamy bosom to perfection. She always has been a rule breaker but her latest attempt to lure Ashley away from Melanie was less than subtle and the good folk of the town do have a tendency to gossip. "Nah, to hell with it!" thinks Agnes - "YOLO!"
Agnes wears the Barbie Scarlett O'Hara red dress (older version) which I have upcycled by sorting out the back closure and adding some tiny black beads as buttons

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,
twistoff glases from jam, tomatosauce, cucumbers... to style up kitchen or crafting place.
