So much perfectly good scrap material gets thrown away during construction. Even like, unused nuts and bolts and random little hardware bits. Lengths of metal pipe that would cost real money if you tried to even get a sample of a similar material at a hardware store. Scraps of wood big enough to make something out of. Etc.

This is really upsetting to me because I know so much of this is just going into landfills and not long that—a lot of it is perfectly useable and stuff that crafters and artists usually have to pay money for!

Recently I have lowkey turned into a dumpster diver because there’s useable stuff thrown away in the big garbage bins in the construction zones of the library where I work. I’m a student and I don’t have money to buy materials for art projects!! Also I have an assignment at the library I work at to decorate our desks for holidays—however we have a budget of literally $0 so I have to use whatever random stuff is around. Even before this I once found this huge cylinder of construction-quality styrofoam that I’m making into a pretty cool little cushioned stool out of it.

TLDR: someone should start a system for construction zones to save useable scrap material and put it somewhere for poor local artists to sift through before it gets thrown away. It would help creatives save money AND keep a lot of construction waste out of landfills!

After more than 50 days of lockdown I can order silver again. The lockdown in South Africa effected people in a severe way; not only food parcels had/have to be distributed but also mentally damaging in the sense that normal personal contact such as handshaking, visiting friends, etc. are prohibited.

In the meantime I’ve been working with scrap material which I still had in stock. Just playing. See for yourself.

The jewellery with the flexible rings is fairly new. The ring itself is made of rubber and one size fits all. These are all unique titems.

Tick Tock

As ever, I’ve been busy making and doing, rather than on here blogging and explaining

Robert and Nicola were over with us here in Ottawa for two weeks, and we had a glorious time! Robert took part in War Hammer things. Nicola and I bought all of the crafts on offer in Ottawa, and then some!

We spent some lovely quiet time together, chatting, eating, reading, playing games, crafting. It was a fun, relaxed time.

Then, on the day they were flying home, the heavens opened and we had a major snowfall! And everything became very tense.

We got them to the airport, and, despite what customer service had said on the phone, WestJet got them onto a slightly later flight so they could catch their plane from Toronto to Gatwick.

All’s well and all that stuff.

Here is my clock, which I have finally finished:

And now it is up on my wall in my craftroom.

And I love it. It’s made from a piece from a sample book the craft group and I ripped apart in the UK. It has a green rubber frame around it that I bought from the local thrift store for $0.50, and the clock mechanism is from a clock I bought at Value Village for $1 and took apart.
