Upcycling Sun


What with up-cycling some old forks as napkin rings a while ago, we're having a drive to see what other old dross we can up-cycle into a new and chic forms. Apparently it's all the rage in the middle classes now.

We have turned this heart I dug out of an old tramp into a tasteful ornament and conversation piece by encasing it in ceramic.


Some of these old apothecary bottles will shortly be turned into either drinks decanters (nice little personal touch, with Hay being a biochemist), or oil lamps (if I can find wick holders - you only seem to be able to get them in the USA).



One hears the Sun actually contains news. Disgusting!

Jansen should know all about the wick and how to hold it.
