Zero Landfill..and twine wrapped vase

I really love Zero Landfill and my love of it can’t be expressed by the words.

AND

My latest obsession is.....
TWINE!!!
Here is the sac i am unraveling. Just laying it out to begin unreeling like her sisters and brothers ...
Finished latest project...
Reusing, recycling and Up cycling grain sac and using empty paint tins for making vases for plants here is the latest one...

the empty grain sac ready to be unraveled......

While de-cluttering with my niece I found some blue vase stones. They were so attractive in box that i really wanted to use them in my decor since they seemed so”cool’ but there really wasn’t very much of it.I thought of sandwiched them in crochet frames and warping around the rim of the vase I made from three small tins. After putting an ilum placing the vase in the kitchen’s top shelve, to absorb some of the odor.

I made the crocheted bracelet for the pot/vase i created using three empty 50 gram paint tins they were so cute that i didn't want to part with them and let them to goto the landfill to die a slow hazardous death.
I cut the base of the two put them over the one with base and seal-them with pasting making one long cylinder vase. and then i wrapped the twine using pasting on the surface of the vase.
then warped the bracelet at the upper rim, and crochet a flower with twine paste it with blue stone in the center of the vase... and I was done with a beautiful vase for my loving ivy plant.

see the picture below..

I love ivy,and I always have them inside and outside decor. There is something loving about them that"reaching out" and "embracing" in its nature, something about its foraging and striving to expand that seduces me. I love the pots of ivy to hung from wall pegs so that their tendrils dangle down, but I too grounded them on shelves. That’s why I place it on the top shelf of my kitchen, to create a cascading effect with storing stain-less-steel containers.

..just have a look and...see the leaves of ivy are pointing toward the roof without any support instead of dangling down...let see how long the tendrils will support it to stand like this...

I do really love this look itself!

Happy day!
