Trash collage

Handcrafted one-way net structure paper was used. The idea was to create a small personal gift with a story to tell without burdening someone with a bulky present of no use to them. The idea originated from a conversation I once had with my late friend Al Yergey, a mass spectrometrist, who had started to learn botanical drawing. He did not want to give his originals away and I told him to scan, print and sign his work to generate presents which would be treasured by the receiver. He gave me a drawing of a rhododendron bud a year later, which has been decorating a wall in my home ever since.


96-well mice - smile

In our lab plastic trash of one-way consumables is abundant. It is a pity that this pure PP-trash does not find its way to recycling (I asked).





















The smiley is a Christmas party product of our group in 2017.

Upcycling Easter

While I was working on these traditional Easter eggs ->


 





my daughter reminded me that I might as well do something with my favored material. Here it is - the new dressing for goose eggs. Happy Easter!
