TRASH ON THE BEACH
Last week there were high seas & strong winds which washed lots of plastic rubbish onto the beach here at Browns Bay. I took my blue bucket & filled it in less than ten minutes!
NEW ROBOTS
Today I finished five robots made from biscuit, sweet, & tea tins. They all have a light as one of their arms. Four have gone to the Salvation Army Store in Browns Bay - where they are stocking some of my work. The fifth one will be part of a prize in a promotion for the SPCA Op Shop - watch this space for details.
E-WASTE COLLECTION
Today I made contact with the guys from e-waste, & took some pix - here are some motherboards in a bin.

recycled clock
Today my friend Horace Williams visited & bought this clock. The face is part of an old aluminum spool from a reel-to-reel tape recorder which I found in the trash last month. See more of my clocks & recycled art at: www.martinadlington.webs.com www.martinadlington.webs.com
