Some more combinations

 

Silk crochet, rubber (bike tyre) and a matte latch.

 

Hemp, fine olivegreen leather knotted and the matte latch!

Tour de France 2012 and recycling

Totally under the spell of the Tour de France 2012 I made some necklaces out of 

the innertubes of my husbands racing bike.  Just tiny pieces of about 0.5 cm to 1 cm for these necklaces. 

 

I would be such a nice initiative if 'the Tour' would recycle some of the tires that pop during the 'etappes'.

No idea what happens to this expensive natural material after the races. 

Anyone ? 

ps : they can send them to me ;-)

Some more experiments with rubber and stones

My creative space

The recycling project :  bicycle tyre rings.

I make little cushions of the tyres and pimp them with a pin.

Have a look at Kootoyoo's blog to see more creative ideas.
