I live in Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a great city for trashpicking. You wouldn't believe what perfectly good en beautiful stuff I've found over the years. So I'd like to share some of it with you. Be amazed!
Everytime I save a piece from the incinerator I'm not just happy for my wallet, but also for the world. Because this is another item that I didn't have to purchase and that didn't have to be manufactured especially for me, since it already existed. I know it's a drop in the ocean but it makes me feel good.
Being a crafter for almost all my life I've also become quite handy in repairing things or using parts of old things to make new stuff. On the other hand what I find also inspires me and a lot of the materials I use for my hobby come from stuff thrown away by others.
A SIMPLE ACCOUNT OF REUSABLE GOODS FOUND IN THE TRASH, THE SALES, THE KEEPS AND THE TRANSFORMATIONS
