a dumpster dive

-
I found a dumpster today & dived in!
My main finds of interest were:
- a film camera ( Agfa Silette)
- 2 jandals to make into art
- a 1954 copy of "William & the Moon Rocket" by Richmal Crompton (I used to read these as a kid)
- a satellite navigation kit for the van
- a retro table lamp
- a metal strainer to make into a clock
- a hand-crocheted blanket

Bird from a car tyre

A recycled car-tyre swan .......or is it a flamingo? This beautiful bird is made from a car tyre. They used to be quite common in front gardens here in NZ when I was a kid - long ago last century. You hardly see them anymore & I was pleased to find this one up north. I am trying to figure out how to make them - evidently there is a trick in turning the tyre inside-out. Sourcing tyres without steel webbing is also an issue. If anyone has any tips either way I would be grateful for some assistance.

No Bull

I found these bicycle parts in a dumpster recently. The wires are the brake cables - I am not sure whether to leave them on or cut them off? I kind of like them. A possible title for this piece is “No Bull” - references to Picasso’s original sculpture & Magritte’s “This is not a pipe” being intentional. Otherwise it could be a “Recyclabull”?
