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.
