Birds, Butterflies, Bunnies and Bees

 

Rustle in the Spring

Nuno Mag's got everything in

(outtake)

Watercolour your butterflies

Make a mask, bunny one and two

Fill your house with flowers

And pretty paper birdies blue.

 

 Reduce-Reuse-Recycle

Damaged books, tissue paper, old cereal boxes, thrifted silk clothing

Salvage and Restore 

 The latest issue of Nuno Magazine is full of simple Springtime craft activities to keep you busy as a bee.  Elisabeth Abernathy-Graham and Rachel Abernathy-Braff will also be donating $1 for every copy sold between now and June 1st to The Tunisian Beekeepers Project in order to help set up families living in the poverty-stricken mountains as beekeepers.

Shades of Grey

 I like grey

The various shades of grey

It's everywhere at home

I like simple things, with a past, marked by time

I like handmade objects, natural finds, creativity

I like paper, wood, cement, linen and rust

I believe very strongly in those three magic words : Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

No wonder then that I like the second issue of Nuno Magazine, inspired by Shades of Grey.

 Nuno brings you 125 ad-free pages of craft, sewing and knitting projects made entirely from recycled, upcycled and salvaged materials. You can preview 20 pages, including four complete projects, here.

I obviously love the Kokeshi Finger Puppets and Whale, but am equally impressed by the egg carton wall display.

Elisabeth Abernathy Graham, Rachel Abernathy Braff and Royce Graham have done a fine job. The entire issue can be yours for $5 and Nuno will be donating $1 per copy sold between now and 31st January 2011 to a goat bank in Uganda run by ADRA. Another initiative I support for personal reasons.
