1939 Irish Coin Turned Into A Ring

1939 Irish Coin Turned Into A Ring



 

Florida-based The Ring Tree repurposes old coins by turning them into beautiful handcrafted rings. The creators behind the project believe that hand crafter coin rings make fantastic keepsakes that help to escape the dull monotony of store bought items and consumerism. They use both domestic and foreign coins and do custom orders, so be sure to find them on Etsy if you’re interested!

We Turned 133 Old Washing Machine Drums Into Street Lamps

We Turned 133 Old Washing Machine Drums Into Street Lamps

We made steampunk street decoration out of washing machine drums for the festival of São Pedro in the town of Câmara de Lobos, Madeira island, Portugal. It took about 6 months to collect 133 washing machines.

Many of them were found in the street meant for garbage, some were donated by owners who couldn’t use them anymore. Initially, we targeted for 100 drums but once the number was reached, the washing machines kept coming.

We are a cultural association Teatro Metaphora – associação de amigos das artes, and one of our goals is promotion of ecological well-being and responsible usage of materials.

The volunteers spent 6 months collecting the washing machines

America’s Oldest Mall Converted Into Micro-Apartments

The Westminster Arcade, also known as the Providence Arcade, in Providence, Rhode Island, was opened in 1828 as America’s first enclosed shopping mall, a concept that was found in some European cities but was not yet popular in the US. Designed by architects Russell Warren and James Bucklin, the building features six massive Ionic columns topped by a triangular pediment, and looked more like an ancient Greek temple than a shopping mall. Behind this striking granite front are open vestibule areas in three levels that were once occupied by numerous shops. Richly decorated cast iron railings capped in mahogany protected the balconies in the upper levels while a glass gable roof filled the atrium with natural light.

The mall fell into hard times after the economic collapse of 2008, and was almost destined for the wrecking ball when the owners decided to turn the property into a residential building instead.
