Day #14: reusing flatware



some of my favorite pieces of jewelry are made from old flatware. i didn't make them but i give mad props to the artists that did! i have two spoon bracelets, a fork bracelet and a fork pendant. they totally exude creativity and cleverness.

since the start of this photo project i've been expanding my knowledge of concepts and terms relating to sustainability. recently, i've been introduced to the term "upcycling". the term had me think about my flatware jewelry but after some online research, i'm confused with its usage. it reminds of how people argue about the definition of hip hop. i will do more research and get back to this concept of upcycling another day.

for now, just know that if you had a spoon bracelet it would be a cool tool to have if you ever got stranded on an island.
