TJC's I Design, I Recycle Challenge

It's been a very busy month, thus the absence in Tuesdays Jabbering Craft (TJC).
Anyway, let me show you the most recent project I made using polymer clay...

Our group, CLAY FRIENDS SOCIETY PHILIPPINES had our first I DESIGN I RECYCLE challenge. The aim is for us to come up with something nice and creative yet something useful with the use of materials that are about to be thrown away.

Although we were given a month to finish our projects, it took me a while figuring out which material to use and what project to make. With everything that has been going on with my work-Nendo-home schedule, I didn't had much time to sit and think about it. Thank God for helpful and really good clay artists that I get to talk to online, even if they're hundreds of miles away, who provided me with the inspiration to make this project a success. This is by the way a remake of the original one made by Scott.

I choose to recycle a Brands Essence of Chicken bottle. In my family, since my dad drinks this a lot, we sort of have quite a number of this kind of bottle to dispose. And so I thought of using this and turning it into something useful instead of just throwing it away.

Here are the materials I used for this project:

• Exacto Knife (not in the picture)
• Pasta Machine (not in the picture)
• Bottle
• Scrap clays

And here's the finished project -- my Shark Pen Holder!

Now how do you like a study table or art space full of sharks?

See you again next week for more of...
