#repurposed trash

[miss-story]

A Corgi for Scale I borrowed a picture of my brothers sweet dog looking into a fish pond for the corgi reference because I wanted to exemplify how small everything in the scene was. I promise he did not look so sad in the reference. When I showed my brother, he asked me if this was a play on the corgi 'lore' The lore based on a 1940's poem describing how fairies ride corgis as steeds and I was floored by the coincidence. Its the cutest thing I've ever heard I swear.

this is Aurel Malik formerly known as V̶̦̈́̋͊̾̐u̵̻͈̤͂ď̶̡̛̘̪͌h̵͂̈͜ṳ̷̒ĩ̷͓͕͖̓͝l̷̤̮̃̐̾͘͠a̶͓͈͍̬̖̎͌͠ň̴̫̼͈̙̌͐ They're a story teller at heart, theatrical, stylish, strange and all packaged with a dark sense of humour. They are uneasy with their lot in life and feel as though a peice of themselves is missing. When they're alone they have trouble keeping silent, they murmur to inanimate objects filling the empty air that often comes with loneliness. They like to collect things, tales, secrets, forgotten objects. Sometimes they relinquish them back into the world. Someone so small can only hold so much and someone so old only has so much space in their mind. The world is full of infinite tales and their own, they often wish they could forget. Lately they have been restless, seeking some measure of influence over the world but they're also dreadfully frightened of what new opportunities might bring with them. OH OH and the millipede is Visk Aurel's familiar/occasional mount ​!

Gifts from the sea: a circular knitting loom, threads and fabric scraps.

Started for Halloween. At least finished before the end of November. 😜

The copper/gold one is mine. The bright orange one is the younger kiddo's.

They're plastic grocery bags stuffed with more plastic trash, tied with twine (for the indents), & covered in paper maché, before painting.

A painting about using public transit in a city that tries to care

[pokytoad]

"I support the gradual replacement of plastic grocery bags with paper" and "how do I line the bathroom trashcan" are statements that can coexist AND BEFORE U COME AT ME I HAVE A SUSTAINABILITY DEGREE

If you see this jacket in a store you are morally obligated to shoplift it.

Not the "people before profit" patch jacket being $449, fast fashion is fucking beyond satire at this point

Very pretty faux punched metal ornaments. (I'd be worried about the sharp edges, though.) How-to by Kate at Minieco.

#Bubblewrap dress

[garaksapprentice]

We don't have ren faires here, so I must thank you deeply for posting this glorious ensemble. This is the exact kind of ren faire content I live for.

yaaAAAALLL ok so it's ren faire season in my house. Last year I spent all my effort making gowns for my kids, so this year I decided to make a little upgrade to my own outfit. So I got a purse from the thrift store

And I turned it into a BELT

I'm soooo pleased with how it came out. It's so insufferably unhistoric. I even made a lil pouch with the scraps! I'm going to upgrade the laces and add a few more trinkets to make it truly ridiculous , but I couldn't wait to show you.

So now my fit consists of a dress I made from a bedsheet, a lace petticoat my mom made from a tablecloth, and a belt made from a purse.

How does one upcycle a pile of trash into a beautiful garden?

We often think of trash as something that needs to be disposed of and forgotten about, but what if we could repurpose it in a creative way that benefits the environment? Upcycling is a great way to do just that, and one of the best things you can upcycle is a pile of trash into a beautiful garden. Continue reading Untitled

So You Want to be Solarpunk?

If your neighborhood has a vacant lot, get some neighbors together and turn it into a community garden.

Organize a block party.

Create a maker space enabling folks to repair, repurpose, and swap their old stuff.

Organize a bunch of plant-savvy neighbors to help folks convert their yards from resource hungry yuppie lawns into something sustainable that fits the local biome.

Get a few friends together and clean up the trash on the streets. Make sure to recycle.

Set up Little Free Libraries and Little Free Pantries.

Get tool-savvy neighbors together to help folks with needed household repairs and upgrades.

The punk in solarpunk is about resistance to the alienation and consumer culture that makes our communities unsustainable and our environments toxic.
