\t\t\t\tRepurposing.<\/p>\n
I love that\u00a0word. Repurposing.<\/p>\n
I could ramble on …<\/p>\n
(well, I think I have over the years),<\/p>\n
sharing how many divine objets de junk<\/i><\/p>\n
I’ve repurposed into things pretty, functional, and simply, way cool.<\/p>\n
From cowboy boot flower pots and purses<\/a> to t-shirt rugs<\/a> and gelatin mold wall sconces<\/a>,<\/p>\n repurposing is a process that not only births the banal anew,<\/p>\n it also satisfies a deep craving we have for frugality and make-do.<\/p>\n But, instead of jabbering on about my love of junk all day,<\/p>\n I want to share with you another little treasure I found.<\/p>\n (I admit, it’s brand new. But it’s ABOUT junk.)<\/p>\n I’m smitten with a little film that was artfully animated by a Russian cinematography student named Dina Velikovskaya<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dina’s images express the junker’s passion eloquently,<\/p>\n without uttering one. single. word.<\/p>\n All it takes is less than 9 minutes to experience My Strange Grandfather<\/i>:<\/p>\n
