More chairs upholstered with old ...TIES

The imgaination round here is elsewhere since the weekend ...

TIES is the topic for February NaBlopomo ... 

I'm determined not to fail...

please bear with me as I post again about TIES ...

walnut, birch, plywood and old neckties make up this chair ...

my projects bear no resemblance.

Reverse Garbage ... another peek, another poke round ...

Love this place ... you never know what you'll find ...

... Mickey Mouse incognito ...

... cardboard rolls and cylinders all shapes and sizes ...

... miles and miles of silver streamers ...

... polystyrene by the truckload ... 

... red or white laser cut perspex shapes ...

... white hangers ... calling out to get rid of wire ones ...

and the gorgeous native flaura still blooming ...

and blooming beautifully.
