Music? Discovered in weapons!

Watch how Artist, Pedro Reyes, turned instruments of hate into useful instruments that could help provide life and music, rather than take it away.

 

Reyes was inspired when government officials in Mexico turn seized weapons and melt them for the "Shovels for Guns" project. He decided to use weapons seized and destroyed by the Mexican army from drug cartels and use them as materials to create music.

Happy Clean Year

What do you do with all those bottles of hair conditioner that you received with the shampoo you bought?
 

If you are getting them free, you are more likely to keep it aside.  Look through your drawers and you may likely find some that have past their expiry date. 

Before you head off to the dustbin with them, hear me out.  Hair conditioner can be used to polish your mirrors and stainless steel product and it does not matter if it is past their "use by" date. It can also clean up your basin and tiled surfaces.

I know it works because I tried.   All I did was spread some on a clean cloth and wiped over the surfaces I want to clean. Then I used another clean cloth to wipe the conditioner off.

So, it's not a mistake.   I would like to wish you a happy clean year for 2014.  And if you are wondering what has happy got to do with clean?  Well, being able to clean easily with hair conditioner means that you no longer have to be upset that your better half is not helping you out.

He just have to get used to missing hearing you nag him while he watches his football.  Another happy event to look forward to.

Old gum boots? Best pets ever!

Who in the world would see dogs in old gum boots?  The best kind of pets ever to keep.  No pee, no poo and no taking out for walks.

Yes, I would like to know the creator too and have him or her rub off some of his or her creativity to me.

Let's play a better game.

Let's play a better game?  How?  By changing our goals this way.

Rotten potatoes? Great for rust!

If your potatoes are already sprouting on you or going bad, don't throw them away.  Nick Engler has a way with potatoes to help get rid of rust on metal surfaces.  Be prepared though.  Anything left to rot in water is bound to stink!



OK, if that is not your cup of tea, try using your potatoes to propagate wood stem cuttings.

Learn how to do it right from Back Yard Diva.  You can't fail growing something with this method.  If the cuttings failed to take root, most likely the potatoes will.

Discards? Keep them for decor.

It is alright to run out of ideas on how you can refresh your home decor because French designer, Pierre Lota of LOTA DESIGN is willing to share some of his decorating trick.



So, now you know.  When you plan to redecorate your home just do what Pierre is doing and don't run out of discards.

Displayed! Trashy art.

What would you expect to see displayed at international airports?  At the San Francisco International Airport Terminal 3 they are showcasing trash.  Before you huff and puff off the notion of visiting such an exhibition, look at what Recology Artist in residence have done with them.
