I'm allergic to photos of myself so "the art vs the artist" posts aren't a thing for me 😜. That being said, may I introduce "the art vs the additional art" 😂. So many people believe that fluid art is a waste of paint, but A. it brings joy so it's absolutely NOT a waste and B. a LOT can be done with leftover paint drippings and dried skins 😃!

#NativeAmericanArtists - Items of Refuse, by Heather Newton Brown

4 December 2025

"My series, 'Items of Refuse' is an exploration of the tension between reclaiming and creating beauty from discarded objects and identity. I gather items considered 'throw away,' pairing them with phrases commonly used to dismiss or #marginalize others. Through this process, I confront the societal norms perpetuated by #capitalism, #colonization and #ConstructedBinaries, with the intention to transform.

"Repurposing metal items alongside abstract art and reclaiming derogatory phrases offers me a way to celebrate #HumanCreativity and perseverance while challenging oppressive systems. This work serves as a reflection of my response to social and #environmental crises, highlighting the importance of #resourcefulness and #resilience in the face of adversity.

" 'As We May Think' was created while sorting through #ephemera. I was struck by the relevance and resonance of topics we are struggling with currently. Time magazine clippings from 1945 had haunting similarities to articles that could be read today, related to war, politics, relationships, household needs, and world affairs. I decided to be curious, and to let the process guide me. The result is pieces of our history brought together in ways that reflect on our history, and our current trajectory."

🚀✨ Leave it to tech nerds to turn a perfectly good GPS modem into a barely-functional web server nobody asked for. Instead of -waste, they’re repurposing sanity—because who needs cloud hosting when you have a and a million hours to spare? 🙃📡

FIL and me modified an old slide (by angle grinding off the old stairs and bolting to our steps) which wasn’t functional on account of not being able to stand on its own for Miss 4 and Mr 1. #maker #kids #play #playtime #fun #upcycling #repurposing

With the End of 10 already in play I'm having recurring conversations at our local #RepairCafe about what to suggest people do when they can't upgrade their device to Windoze 11.

Which way do you direct people?

Materials: Curtain thrifted locally (unused / still wrapped), all of 4 eur. Homemade bias binding made from leftover cotton for the neck, hem and sleeves. Plus time & effort & sweat, but fortunately no tears!

Almost zero waste, too, despite the screw-up. I was left with a handful of scraps, mostly from the neck opening.

Finally done!

This dress used to be a cafe curtain. 1st I unpicked the hems (for more material) and washed the panel so the finished garment won't shrink. The resulting fabric wasn't big, some 240x60 cm, which required lots of planning to make sure I had enough for a project.

My 1st try wasn't successful at all. Had to undo some seams I just finished – always hate it when it happens! However, careful recutting according to a different pattern worked.

PRO TIP: In case anyone has a laptop that may get too warm/hot to comfortably use on your lap, you might want to try putting a cardboard cat-scratching pad between you and it.

Right side angled view of an Intel CORE i7 laptop sitting on an approximately 1-inch-thick cardboard cat scratching pad. Not exactly pretty, but it sure works to keep your lap cool!

(Now, me? I’m a MacBook Air user, so not an issue. But daughter does Intel, and came up with this pretty neat idea, so I thought I’d share. ❤️)Close up straight-on view of a portion of the cardboard cat-scratch pad, lit from behind so you can see a) the cardboard pattern that makes it so strong, rigid, and  light; and b) all the airspace openings that go straight through the carboard pad. It’s more air than cardboard!

My son has redirected his mail to me. Amongst the bits and pieces, bank statements, reminders, etc, there are some items he is ok for sharing:)
He belongs to Heritage New Zealand and they publish a magazine quarterly. Its an intriguing read about our heritage and often articles about a particular building.
The latest edition has an article about the repurposing of what was CIT ( Central Institute of Technology). A polytechnic that served Upper Hutt and the region from the 70s until 2001 when it closed. It sat dormant for 15 years. It was purchased by two local individuals in 2015, with the vision and determination to repurpose the complex, preserving it's architecture and to create a quite unique environment for different purposes. They certainly achieved that.
It now serves as a training and accomodation facility for various sporting bodies including high performance athletes. The All Blacks, Black Ferns, Hurricanes Rugby, Wellington Phoenix and support people, just to name a few.
It has 450 accommodation rooms, daycare center, gyms, recovery pools and other indoor space for various activities. It also has various outdoor playing fields for training and events.
The architecture is "brutalist", reflecting the period it was built.
It is a now a grand example of what can be done to preserve and repurpose some of this countries past and turn it into a living thing again.
Well done to those involved.
A plug for Heritage New Zealand is also to be had. It is involved with preservation of NZ as we knew it and as it is now. It is always welcoming new members.
