TOILET ROLLS

Tags

Before you throw away that toilet roll, think again! I have been looking at the artwork of Yuken Teruya, in particular his range of toilet roll artwork. It is utterly stunning. 


Taking a simple object like a discarded toilet roll and turning it into a piece of art.  Just take a look at Yuken's toilet roll faces, they are very inspirational.




The delicate carvings by Anastassia Elias inside toilet rolls are amazing also. They are tiny paper cut out scenes inside a toilet roll.







So remember, next time you go to throw away toilet rolls, don't!

BUOYS AND GIRLS

Tags


Buoys and Girls are a small family run company based on the Isle of Wight, designing and handmaking unique accessories using authentic new and recycled sailcloth. All products are made in their own workshop. Their designs are their own original designs and have a nautical theme. They are bright, fun and desireable!  

Although each item is individual they are happy to personalise their products for you, to make them that extra bit special. Their products are made to the highest standard. They use sailmakers thread and webbing and robust plastic zipping where required. Living on the Isle of Wight known for its beaches and international sailing, has given them great inspiration to create designs made from sailcloth that can be used in or out of the home, on the boat or on holiday. Their designs are perfect for Coastal Interiors, for those who love seaside living and all who love anything Nautical!

They try to use as much recycled sailcloth as they can and are always on the lookout for used sails in good condition. They love to recycle them. Once laundered they start life as something new – with a history. They are also happy to collect used sails in good condition so do let them know if you have a sail you want to recycle!

Each sail they recycle is different in texture and colour which means no two products they make are the same. Because recycled sailcloth has a history it provides a real vintage feel to their designs.  All their recycled sailcloth is laundered before they make it up.
