RECIPE IV : The Super Spy Kit Begins
with a Super Spy Watch:
I used this trash list :
I have also decided to steer this segment of the Trash Cookbook in a new direction.Thanks to Subalekha's cool concept ["goggles from the tomato carton, periscope from the tube and a cool watch with the can and oat meal box..."], I will make the watch, periscope and goggles in that order over a period of 10 days, with one artefact in every new post.
Make sure to check out Suba's DIY Blog!!
Stay tuned for the next installment of the Marvelous Spy Kit.

RECIPE III : Jewelry from Chateau Kathryn

A necklace made via Ms. Kathryn May's creative directive for jewelry.
Kathryn is a high school educator in Philadelphia, is known for her rowing skills, and is an all round girl's girl.

I cut out discs from the white styrofoam and copper foil to make the necklace.
And then superglued them to a shoelace ( it was new! ).
Then put on my necklace, and modeled for the camera!
Plus Im going to wear it to a arty partee next week...
RECIPE IV : Grocery Shopping
The next batch of trash is :
a Quaker oatmeal box
a refried organic beans can
a clear plastic cherry tomatoes carton
a paper towel cardboard tube
an empty Suave shampoo bottle ( its apple scent and smells real good )
What can I do with these pretty colors for the next recipe?

RECIPE II : By Drew and I, not Gucci

With some concise input from Mr. Cogbill, here is the coin purse created through our collaboration. The purse is made with double sided tape and the white translucent plastic liner sheet. I cut out the sheet , then taped the folded over shape, and then inserted a strip for the little handle.
Drew Cogbill is a first year MFADT student . Check his current work here.
Drew and I also worked together in our Aqueous Medium Collab Studio
and had some good times. Pleasure working with you !
