Recycling Part 3

That moment when you choose your favorite bottle of wine or whatever has a cork on it. And then you can’t find <<tire-bouchon>> corkscrew. And guess what you got guests – hmm. I have seen a few people push it in with a knife or anything that can literally push it down into the bottle. They still drank and had a good time. Now let me tell you what crossed my mind at that moment in time… Just look at this picture – IDEAS

Since then I have known how to keep mine close – readily available 🙂 given the fact that I have found myself collecting all these corks particularly from wine bottles. I had different ideas as compared to what is portrayed in the breezy picture above. I saw this on google images DIY and it did attract my attention given my jewelry making background. I never imagined beads on corks but well, I am definitely going to try a similar project which I should be able to share asap  #diyadvocate #saynotolitter #Recycling seriesecycleandreuse 

Soon…

I think this is creative, beautiful and I just love the color splash

I’ve been working on a series of Geometric “Color Play” Pentagon Drop Earrings over the past several weeks. I finished a pair last week in a Mango Brights colorway…the pair in this photo is worked in a Caribbean Brights colorway and is almost finished!  Now onto the tutorial to go along with the design and both colorways as well as beading kits. They should be ready by early next week if not sooner.  Stay tuned!

Recycling and Up-cycled Glass

My previous post was about how to reuse and recycle paper. I shared just a few ideas but there is so much more. Today I will share about wine, whiskey, rum mention it glass bottles.

And then we sipped wine, sipped and sipped on until one day it struck my mind.

What shall we do with all these empty bottles?

Then I saw that all bottles were unique in a way and some were really appealing to the eyes. I will be sharing some pictures of my favorite bottles in the next post. For now I will share with you what transpired. RECYCLE, REUSE, UP-CYCLE

Then I went on a workshop hunt for the necessary equipment and manpower. Oh how I loved the outcome! I have never looked back since and I see an opportunity to make the world a better place in every empty bottle that is about to go to waste thus polluting our environment. I have decided to be a friend of the environment and work on these amazing Eco-friendly projects. Are these so beautiful – imagine them in all possible colors.
