For *Art from Trash* / *Creative Challenge* enthusiasts.
Kia Ora!
I have a bagful of these items; (see images below)
(1) Milk bottle twist-top caps
(2) Plastic measuring cups (~3 assorted varieties of 20ml, 30ml and 40ml. Paper-clip in the image to give an idea of their respective sizes.)
I don't have any credible answer to *why?* and *for what?* have I been
saving these. I just kept on saving them for last 5-6 years. It has now got to a point that I will have to dump this *trash collection* very soon, if there aren't any takers.
My reluctance to trash it, stems from an idea that this material could
serve as a very useful resource for a piece of 3D artwork, or elegant
sculpture / showpiece. Doing so in creative ways, I think, would potentially save our environment from all this trash getting into landfills and/or the ocean.
Ideally, if there's any student of a *multi-media* course, this would serve as a compelling option for a *creative challenge* project as a part of the course.
Whatever your persuasion, if you fancy doing something creative from a bagful of trash, please let me know.
You are welcome to take the full bag or any part of it.
Bag or paper-clip not included. 😆😄🤭

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
