I Love Junk
Ah. I’m not alone in enjoying junky hardware:
Bathtub to couch
Диван из старой ванны. Афигительно!! Posted by Видео БУМ on Saturday, April 2, 2016
Chairs of China
Since we’re talking about chairs as the classic design case study, I thought you may enjoy my chair book featuring the chairs of China. Some are up-cycled, some are at end of their life, all are rad. Have a seat and enjoy: http://www.blurb.com/b/6437590-have-a-seat
Yarn from plastic bags
My sister in law crochets grocery bags out of other plastic bags; very robust creations. This woman takes it further and makes fine thread.
Giant pinecones from shovels
From RecyclArt.org. Looks like a good site for upcycling inspirations.
Beer can costume
Someone in class mentioned that they had a lot of soda cans that they were thinking of using for the Upcycle Assignment. Here is an example of upcycling that I can’t find the origin of, but it looks like a Brazilian Carnival troupe: I found it shared on Facebook.
