Recycled Glass Workshop and Roses

This afternoon I went on another glass workshop to make Christmas trees from recycled materials. I took some old earrings along and we used recycled glass, other old jewellery and wire out of cables. Here are three of mine – still to finish another. It was a brilliant encouraging class and I am delighted with my trees!

Recycled glass trees, strange perspective makes them look not triangular

I came home to find that another dear friend had called in with some roses! Thank you N,G&T, you lovely people.

These roses are not pink! They are a rich, deep velvety red and are gorgeous!

Recycled Glass, A Golden Bike and Mini Daffodils

I have been at another glass workshop, again taught by Lisa Macfarlane and organised this time by Upcycle Kernow, a new venture in Portreath with the idea of intercepting ‘rubbish’ going to landfill and upcylcling it. We used bottles, a glass lampshade and a double glazed window today along with a few bits from Lisa’s store, left over from her making stained glass windows. Here is my piece – in honour of the Suffragettes, of course!

I have salvaged just a few Narcissi blooms as the others have made their way to being recycled in the compost.
