Love StudioMama´s approach to design. Its all about repurposing, repairing, and upcycling.
The Ten exicted me: 10 Designers found trash in a radius of 10miles and only had £ 10 to do something new with it.
Today's first achievement: reupholstered my office chair.
(Story in replies)
Sodele.
Die Hitze des Tages genutzt und meinen Laptop umgestellt.
Der kann kein Windows 11 und müsste laut #microsoft auf den Schrott 😳
Habe Linux Mint draufgemacht - läuft wie eine Eins - und eine VM für Windows weil ich nicht von iTunes loskomme.
Läuft auch wie eine Eins!
Mein erstes Linux, völlig unproblematisch zu installieren und zu benutzen.
Scientists have devised a method to upcycle lithium-ion batteries and expired solar panels into new solar cells. The method recovers valuable materials from the waste and converts them into perovskite solar cells, which are cheaper and more efficient than silicon-based ones. This could reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste and boost the renewable energy sector.
#upcycling um meine Sachen weiter nutzen zu können.
Bei diesem Pulli endlich die viel zu kleine Kapuze ab (ich weiß nicht, was sich Kleidungsmacher dabei denken dass die meisten Kapuzen nur bis zum Haaransatz gehen) und damit auch endlich den zu engen Halsausschnitt erweitert (ich will die Brille nicht abnehmen müssen um einen Pulli über zu werfen) und die Ärmel ab. Und jetzt hab ich nen schönen Überwurf um im Herbst/Winter auch draußen Sport zu machen 💪🥳

OK, this is very cool. A website that lists salvage yards and second-hand shops across the country - mostly major metro areas, of course, but in my experience those can be harder to find secondhand shops in, just because of the size. Wish I'd known about this earlier.

#AuGHOST Day 30: #Crackle
Not-So-Fun-Fact: Ghosts can’t see themselves in mirrors.
Even-Less-Fun-Fact: Milly has broken a lot of mirrors trying (unsuccessfully) to change that.
Animated my painting again! This time I made separate pieces & combined them in #Krita. Way too much fun! I'm having trouble loading the video, watch it here!

Es ging aber bei meinem Workshop nicht nur um Technik und Regulierung, sondern auch um Politik, #Upcycling und das üben des Aufhängen am #Balkon.
Der der Workshop immer am ersten Tag stattfand, war er auch immer ein guter Einstieg, auch in viele Themen der #Elektrotechnik. Die Teilnehmenden bekamen auch ein Zertifikt als “Elektrisch unterwiesene Person” (EuP)..
Überhaupt glaube ich, dass das Thema #BalkonSolar, so wie im richtigen Leben, eine gute Einsteiger Sache für die Leute ist. 🧵




Writing your ethical application and using your breaks to listen to leftist philosophers isn't a good idea. I am closing my day with 700-words (unpublished and unpublishable for now) stream of consciousness that started as a reflection on the #RightToRepair, entered in a political critique of #upcycling , and ended with a #SmashTheSystem call to action.
Not-So-Fun-Fact: Ghosts can’t see themselves in mirrors. This makes it very hard for Milly to try a new hairstyle.

Recycled Creativity Festival
Am Samstag von 14 bis 22 Uhr erwartet euch ein aufregendes Programm zum Thema 'Vom Müll zum Schatz' auf dem Gelände des Kulturbunkers.
Das Recycled Creativity Festival bietet Musik, Workshops und Performances und steht für proaktives und positives Miteinander. Wer Lust hat, neue Dinge zum Thema Upcycling zu lernen, selbst Hand anzulegen oder einfach nur die Musik zu genießen.

Anyone can show you fear in a handful of dust. Milly shows you glee in a drop of water

Replaced the defective buckle on the waist strap of the 1970/80s Fjällräven backpack my dad found under a customer's patio when his carpentry business did repairs on a suburban house.

Sometimes Milly feels like no one really sees her. Then she realizes she’s dematerialized, so no one really can see her…

Another DIY project is finished. The Back to the Future led light tape, I had in mind for a long time. 🙈
It may not be a real #bttf #VHS tape, but for a first try, CATS had to die 🤪 no, the tape is not even damaged and could be rebuilt in minutes, because the lights sit in the corner and don't touch the tape. And ... the _really_ cool thing is, the lights inside are solar powered - can't wait for the evening ❤️ #upcycling #vhstape #retrolight #retrogamer #diy #diylight #diylights

Hallo #Fahrradbubble, gibt es eigentlich Haken, die man an einen kaputten Fahrradschlauch anbringen kann, um diesen zu einem Spanngurt upzucyclen? Gibt es da einen Hersteller oder einen guten Lifehack? Kann man so einen Haken 3d-drucken (ist das ökonomisch sinnvoll?)

Ok is it a sin to cut up a tea towel with all the Australian Prime Ministers up to 2001? Because I want to make bucket hats for Slop Shop.
Fun Fact: Ducks can’t see ghosts. No one is quite sure why. That’s ok though- ducks will still eat the treats Milly brings, even if they can’t see who is throwing the frozen peas.

It’s #WIPWednesday!
Here's a few days of #AuGHOST. Usually my paintings are just one piece of paper or cardboard, but lately I've been using #Watercolor #Gouache, & #Ink painted on cardboard & scrap paper, then assembled physically or in #Krita.

Ms. Dumont raised an eyebrow.
“The suit of armor doesn’t really *go* with the Victorian-haunted-house atmosphere. The owners really are overdoing things. Well, at least I’ll be able to debunk this one quickly.”
From her hiding place, Milly barely suppressed a giggle.
Skeptics were always the most fun

Deutsch geht auch.
In Berlin. I had supposedly burned the mainboard years ago, when sesame sauce entered the USB ports in the back. Ups. Airport modem & fan are in separate bag. Plastic lid also. No RAM, no HDD/SSD. (might have 2x2GB DDR3 spare, if needed.)
Pick up in person only in Berlin Mitte. No shipping.
Fee: Bring me a booze-free beer.

Could take this to #cccamp23, too.

A big production weekend making notebooks from discarded books! I’m *so close* to being done with this batch of 58.
I love giving old books one last chance at life - I tell my friends that garbage is my medium ❤️
Photo description: Work in progress showing a small pile of cut up book pages, several incomplete pieces with maps on one side and pictures on the other.

Do you remember the ugly #jacket that I wanted to #upcycle into a #waistcoat fitting for jeans because the #linen has a very good quality? Here the photos before: https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/110808613530726166 I made it and like it! 😊 @sewing #sewing #SlowFashion #upcycling

It’s #ThrowbackThursday at #FiberArtCamp!
I made a bathrobe for my SO by #Upcycling torn sheets. It was the 1st project big enough I had to cut/pin it on the floor & is still my largest project so far. 5 years later, this is still my favorite project. It's probably his favorite, too - he wears it all the time! I was learning how to line things, so there are pops of blue swirly #fabric hidden all over the robe.
#mastoArt #Sewing #Textiles #NoPattern #FiberArts #FiberArt #TBT
BTW, the only #waste of this project are the shoulder pads. I'll reuse the #fabric of the sleeves for #VisibleMending projects or even #collageArt and #artjournaling. #upcycling #SlowFashion I detest #fastFashion #FastFashionSucks #HandicraftsActivism
#Upcycling. #SlowFashion I have old #jackets that no longer fit me at the arms and in the broader shoulders (muscles are apparently not intended for women). I didn't want to give away this piece of pure #linen.
What happens if I radically cut out the too-tight ugly sleeves? It changes! Fits, except at the waist. A simple trick: I remove the buttons. And close it with a single beautiful button that sits in the place of the left one. I just have to hem the sleeves again, done! #waistcoat @sewing
My new string flag made out of my dog’s bandannas from the groomer. #upcycling #art hanstitched #CreativeAbundance #creative

I hate writing introduction posts.
So, I guess I'm an #anarchist now. It's not so much that my values have changed, though a few of them have. Mostly it's that the meanings of the old labels have changed.
For instance, in the 80s I was a #conservative because I believed in less government. Now I'm an anarchist for the same reason.
Former #Army. Mississippian. Recovering racist - of the "don't see color" variety - so I had never confronted the deeply buried racism I didn't realize was there, implanted by my upbringing and culture.
I love to #foster kittens and promote good pet health and training. I'm interested in landscaping with native plants. I think of things to write or sing all the time, so #SongIdea is one of my big hashtags.
Left Mississippi at 19 and was gone for over 30 years. So a lot of stuff has changed, but most stayed the same. A lot more people recognize me than I them, and I'm unhappy about that. Big gaps in my memory and bad at recognition.
I love rustic living so I spend a lot of time at deer camp. Interested in natural building techniques, reusing materials, #upcycling and #permaculture. Probably #solarpunk also.

Repairing clothes is now à la mode in France.
>To help fight waste, France has launched a scheme that will allow people to claim back between €6 and €25 of the cost of mending clothes and shoes at affiliated workshops and cobblers.
>Around 700,000 tonnes of clothing is discarded each year in the country.

Hey I'm Alicia, an artist who really hasn't been feeling social media lately (especially IG and FB) so I thought I'd try Mastodon out and see if I like the simplicity of it more. I think I picked the perfect server, since I'm much more likely to be in my sunny garden than anywhere else. :BlobCat_Love: 🌞
My interests include
#art #wool #dyeing #watercolor #flowarts #gardening #cats #dogs #reptiles #languagelearning #writing #reading and #mandala making.
I have a family business called Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of fibre, yarn, and fabric and I want to get into #upcycling clothes some more!
Hope I get to meet some cool people the algorithm would drown out on other apps.

Upcycling cars and trucks from internal combustion to electric??
Here's an article about UK company Lunaz Applied Technologies, which converts classic cars to electric powertrains – and is now moving into upcycling industrial fleet vehicles, such as garbage trucks.
The company says it saves 82% of the embedded carbon in every vehicle it upcycles and electrifies – equal in weight to the Eiffel Tower every year.
