Last week I found a jar of coins in a dumpster.  There are some 300 coins, the oldest a one cent piece from Ceylon dated 1925 & bearing the impression 'George V King and Emperor of India'. The other coins are from the Philippines, Fiji, Holland, British Borneo, Greece, Italy, Tonga, the Seychelles, France, Great Britain, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Vanuatu, Canada, China, Panama, Hungary, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, Cayman Is, Argentina, Cooks Is, & an unidentifiable Islamic country.

No Bull

I found these bicycle parts in a dumpster recently. The wires are the brake cables - I am not sure whether to leave them on or cut them off? I kind of like them. A possible title for this piece is “No Bull” - references to Picasso’s original sculpture & Magritte’s “This is not a pipe” being intentional. Otherwise it could be a “Recyclabull”?

A recycled car-tyre swan .......or is it a flamingo? This beautiful bird is made from a car tyre. They used to be quite common in front gardens here in NZ when I was a kid - long ago last century. You hardly see them anymore & I was pleased to find this one up north. I am trying to figure out how to make them - evidently there is a trick in turning the tyre inside-out. Sourcing tyres without steel webbing is also an issue. If anyone has any tips either way I would be grateful for some assistance.
