As promised, here's one of the pieces from my "abstract" phase (doesn't every artist have one of those?). The piece is titled "Destination" and was painted on a box cover using acrylics.

Gifting holidays often come with enormous pressures to choose the right gifts, the best gifts, and the newest, shiniest gifts. If you're looking for something a little more personal, why not try creative reuse?
"Creative reuse" is a broad term, but we use it to refer to anything that gives new life to an older thing. Clothing you've outgrown, jewelry or glassware that has been broken, unreadable books, and more - all of these things can be re-used, made into something new, beautiful, and significant. You could do this at a Creative Reuse Center or a Repair Cafe, but you can also do it at home!
Here's a piece I made with scrapbooking paper and old books, at Dabble Creative Reuse Center! Since the books were no longer useful in their original form, and the scrapbooking paper was no longer suitable for its original purpose, both could be combined into a cut-paper design with new life.

The white plastic thingy is from a bread-bag or whatever. (I collect them. As one does.)
The wire is phone-cable being repurposed as speaker-wire (4 wires wrapped together in pairs, but that's not visible here).
The wood is part of an enormous bed-loft that someone left at @KathyH's house before she moved in, and which was used by 3 successive kids over ~3 decades. (It's now in my workroom at #HypertwinManor.)

At Koodugal, we took a fresh look at metal waste.
Instead of letting it pile up, we transformed it into beautiful art pieces like butterflies and scorpions — adding value, inspiring creativity, and promoting sustainability. 🌍✨
Let’s turn waste into wonder. 💡

Love this helpful page re donations to ArtHive, a #creativereuse shop.
https://arthive.art/donate/#accept -
Scroll down to see #creativereuse shops by state OR Canadian province and map at the end. Creative reuse shops are places you can donate old art supplies, fabric, etc, go shopping for fun items, and most shops host events and lessons. Also, great outing for kids!

This is another great idea (imho).
LENDING LIBRARIES
"Create a free community lending library to let people freely lend and exchange tools, seeds, sleds or snowshoes, books, cooking equipment, games, and more.
"Nearly every community has a traditional library, but why stop at loaning out books? Community lending libraries are helping neighbors lend and share all sorts of items, from seeds and cooking equipment to sports gear and tools. They take many shapes and forms, from the common Little Free Libraries you see on streets and in neighborhoods to more formalized libraries that lend items other than books. Just like regular libraries, lending libraries have many benefits — decreasing consumption, helping people access tools and supplies for free, and building community."

@mu This is one kind of reuse center that I found on the web. It's something a local library could sponsor. Also, there are places that do that with building materials (#HabitatForHumanity #ReStores).
#CreativeReuse Centers Benefit #Communities & the #Planet
By Maureen Wise
Feb 14, 2024"What Is a #CreativeReuseCenter?
"A creative reuse center is a #CraftThriftStore and so much more. It’s a business or nonprofit organization that collects #usable materials, leftovers, or surplus creative supplies and redistributes them to the community for reuse. These organizations accept donations from individuals as well as manufacturers, industry partners, and businesses. Donations can be in the form of leftover craft supplies such as your craft stash. They may also include cabinet or flooring samples from a home renovation company or the end of a roll of vinyl from a sign manufacturer.
"Each center makes decisions differently and has different donors and #donations rules, but the ethos is consistent: They help people see the potential in useable waste as art. The creative possibilities of cast-off materials are limited only by the imagination of the artist. Creative reuse is all about #upcycling and #repurposing: elevating and #reusing an unwanted material or item into something entirely new with purposeful value."

Very old unused postcards from Wexford are charming...putting them in pile for #creativereuse shop.

Fortunately @mbroome dug through the workshop and found an old chunk of Romex... (Probably left over from when we ran additional electrical circuits into our home offices in our old house - over 20 years ago. 😊) The coated wire inside is just the right stiffness to make an interior armature for the tail!
So now I have a nice project for this stormy afternoon...
