Upcycling. Isn't that a cool word? Nothing to do with hills and muscle power. It's a new term for taking materials you might have recycled and making something new out of them. Say a bowl out of glossy magazine pages. Or remember the necklaces you used to make out of gum wrappers? Sure you do. You can use the same technique to make a purse! Make a clock from a CD! Ha! Rubber stampers have been doing this for years! They can put their superior hats on now. Most of this stuff is pretty good- looking too, but you need a high tolerance for BRIGHT. Oh oh, another fun new word - plarn. Short for 'plastic yarn' because you can knit with plastic bags! Ecofriendly and fun.Thursday, April 28, 2011
