Learned a new word today ( by way of Schimmel Art via LivePaths) - Upcycling which is defined thusly :
Upcycling is the practice of taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use or value.
Going by that definition, J and I could have done a few upcycling projects of our own. A recent one involved making a bookshelf with the cardboard packaging of the 3-pack Silk SoyMilk we get from Sams Club. We stacked 3-4 of these boxes together, stapled them together along the edges and covered it all over with J's "old" art work like a decoupage. The resulting shelf looks pretty nice and turned out to be a great way to reduce her clutter. That would be "taking something that is disposable and transforming it into something of greater use or value"
crossings as in traversals, contradictions, counterpoints of the heart though often not..
