Recycle challenge

[bodrighy]

Something I am unashamedly knicking from another form.

Quite a few of us use recycled materials to create our masterpieces. The challenge is to post before and after pictures of something we have made from throw away material. I personally recycle anything that is made of wood but if I am running this I guess I am disqualified automatically. As it is some unearthly hour in the morning I will elaborate tomorrow if anyone has responded and shown interest. Closing date would be the last day in November. I might (if I am feeling generous) have a prize for the most popular item. Have to work out how we assess that. Maybe some kind of poll.

Hi, this is a lovely and imaginative idea but -sadly for me - I'm too busy at the moment (with preparation for Christmas fairs etc) but if you do this again at a quieter time I may well have a go!

I'm supposed to be busy, I've been asked to make a turkey and xmas puddings to be lobbed at stuff and the school Xmas fair AND I'm signed up for the secret santa! (I don't often make things to sell cos I'm rubbish!)

Bodrighy, I reckon you can join in - we'll just all BOOOOO really loudly if you win!

Me too. Would love to have a go, but it would have to be in Jan or Feb.

Love the idea, and it might inspire a lot of us! Will watch with interest.

Jan/Feb would be better as most of us are working 36 hr days at the moment

I recycled some plastic bags into flower brooches a while ago, although where I put them is a mystery!

Looks like the general feeling is to postpone the idea until after Christmas so unless there are any protesters I'll set thi up again beginning of the New Year.. OK?

Pete

[SalvageTasha]

Sounds like a great idea - especially as all our stuff is made out of recycled stuff! lol

Just have to remember to take the before pictures though haha

[Critchley]

Ill try and give it a go. Not promising mind.

[bodrighy]

OK, as there sems to be a bit of a split in when we should hold this I have stuck a poll at tghe top. I'll leave it a week and then go with the majority. Hope this is OK with everyone

[bodrighy]
