I dropped off recycling the other day and found two broken rice steamers in the tin area. They looked so full of potential. I brought them home and took them apart with a pair of needle nose pliers.

There’s a recycled art show where I live and I’m thinking of making a sculpture with the pieces. However, there’s also a recycled fashion show and I’m leaning towards making something for that instead. That’s more fun. Years ago, I created an outfit made out of telephone wires. It turned out super groovy!

I crocheted a bikini top and miniskirt. For my hair I put wires in my many braids and attached phone parts to the braids as well. In Santa Fe there was also a recycled fashion show and I won first prize for this outfit. I was overjoyed!
