DAY 4 - TAKE A WALK AND MAKE SOMETHING WITH WHAT'S AVAILABLE

An intereesting topic today - I knew it was going to be difficult to find the time to take a walk today with a hectic day of meetings and things in the office so I thought i'd do this after work tonight.

However, on a (very mini) walk out to my car and the rubbish/recycling bins at 6am this mornign I noticed the leaves on the Ecover Washing Liquid bottle sat in my recycling box (although this is a pic of the new one in the kitchen as I'd cut the other one up before photographing it!)

What could I do with the leaves? how about cutting them out and making earings out of them by placing them on a pair of existing white sapphire stud earings?
At work in the studio, we quite often design interiors combining the old with the new - so how about one of the oldest materials around, mixed with a 20th century material for an earring?!

  I can't believe how good they look, so I left them in for a while today and have had loads of comments about them being really nice - and when people realised what they were made from they were really surprised and thought they must have cost me a fortune!

Now ideally I need to wait till the next bottle is empty and make another 2 so that I have even sized leaves!  (Wonder if they would go with my dress for the Ball I'm going to at the weekend?)

Time to make - 20 minutes
