Stuff on my Mantlepiece

What's the difference between upcycling, customising, recycling, re-purposing and op-shopping? For me, the lines are blurred. I like and live them all. Today I'm introducing a new segment called 'Things on my Mantlepiece'. Is that not a completely gripping and fascinating concept? At least 90% of my objects are second-hand and I suspect that they fit mostly into the category of re-purposing.


 Abstract sculpture centered around an op-shopped water carafe.






Thin wire, scrap origami paper and pieces from a Japanese dictionary



Bakelite knitting needles in a stunning Kelly green.
