Map wrapping paper - Its a Rubbish Challenge
This is the fifth 'Its a Rubbish Challenge video'.
I wrap up a present....that is it!
Well it is a very simple challenge though it goes to the nub of the 'Its a Rubbish Challenge' in that it is taking a new look at the useful things that we throw away.
Why buy wrapping paper that costs money and uses new materials when an old road map that was out of date and had pages missing has given us a few years of wrapping up presents.
I love it as maps are graphically interesting and so looks really good when used in an unexpected way and I hope makes the birthday boy/girl smile.
The book is 'Norwegian Wood - chopping, stacking and drying wood the Scandinavian way' by Lars Mytting. A surprisingly good read that weaves in the culture of Scandinavia within the process of fire wood chopping. And there are some great pictures of beautiful sculptural wood stacks. The book has inspired me to buy in unchopped logs this spring so I can wield an ax again!
Happy birthday Frank.
'Its a Rubbish Challenge' is a series of YouTube videos where I attempt to give the things that we throw away a new life, to make them useful or adapt them to save buying in new 'stuff'.
I aim to upload a new video every few weeks and undoubtedly they will all be different. Some of the rubbish will be adapted with electronics, some are instruments and others are just simple.
I aim to make them all interesting and I hope they may inspire you to give it a go, take a look at your rubbish bin and make yourself something great from it.
