Recycled



Recycling: the act of processing waste to create a new product.



For example, this abandoned material ...



... has been salvaged and converted ...



... into a completely new product called "Class 152. Applique hand or machine pieced".



Say it with me: reduce, reuse, recycle.

(Have I diverted everyone's attention from the fact I was too lazy to make something from scratch?)


One of three entries I am putting into the Arts, Craft and Cookery Competition at the 2010 Royal Melbourne Show (18 - 28 September 2010).
