- (plastic bag yarn)....CUT THE PLASTIC BAGS INTO STRIPS. TIE THE ENDS OF THE STRIPS TOGETHER. THIS FORMS ONE LONG STRAND. SPIN A BIT OF THE YARN AROUND YOUR FINGER. TAKE THAT BIT OFF. NOW SPIN THE YARN AROUND THE ACCUMULATED BALL. (this makes one ball of yarn but it is not ready yet). THE SECOND STEP IS TIE TO TIE THE END OF WOOL YARN TO ONE SIDE OF A FAN (tie to one blade of the fan). TIE THE PLASTIC YARN TO THE OPPOSING BLADE. PUT FAN ON 2ND SPEED AND SLOW WALK BACK. THIS FORMS A LONG STRAND.THIS STRAND WILL HOLD TENSION. TO DECREASE TENSION TIE ONE END TO A POLE AND WALK AS FAR BACK AS POSSIBLE.THIS SHALL FORM A BALANCED HOMEMADE YARN WHICH SHALL BE ROLLED UP INTO A YARN.
- (teddy bear yarn or knitted garment yarn).....FIND THE CAST OFF SIDES. FIND WHAT BINDS THE SIDES TOGETHER. UNWEAVE THE STRAND. NOW PILL THAT STRAND CONTINUOUSLY.THIS FORMS ONE LONG STRAND. SPIN A BIT OF THE YARN AROUND YOUR FINGER. TAKE THAT BIT OFF. NOW SPIN THE YARN AROUND THE ACCUMULATED BALL. (this makes one ball of yarn but it is not ready yet)...... now for the other method....CUT UP THE BEAR.TIE STRANDS TOGETHER.THIS FORMS ONE LONG STRAND. SPIN A BIT OF THE YARN AROUND YOUR FINGER. TAKE THAT BIT OFF. NOW SPIN THE YARN AROUND THE ACCUMULATED BALL.
- (cotton fabric yarn) MAKE A SMALL CUT. TEAR DOWN BUT BEFORE YOU GET TO THE END STOP ABOUT 2CM AWAY FORM EDGE.MAKE ANOTHER SMALL CUT 2CM AWAY FROM PREVIOUS CUT ON THE OPPOSING SIDE OF THE PREVIOUS CUT. REPEAT THIS ACTION UNTIL THE FABRIC FORMS ONE LONG STRAND. SPIN A BIT OF THE YARN AROUND YOUR FINGER. TAKE THAT BIT OFF. NOW SPIN THE YARN AROUND THE ACCUMULATED BALL.
This a blog of a surface designer and his works. None of this is inspired from anothers work but of ideas that pop into my head. The emphasis i place on design is that we should clean up our surroundings with design, by means of not destroying to create more but rather to re-use the surrounding mess until most of the p lanet is clean, then we can turn to ecological living which is to never alter nature.
