"Bing Necklace 1" of Recycled Aluminum Cans ~ 2 of 2 photos
Continued from last photo....
Necklace made of various aluminum cans, and 1 red pull tab. The charms are backed in EVA foam and the necklace is light as a feather.
This is just about my fav thing made this year. I have ADD and it sums up what my brain deals with every day. I named it "Bing" after those new TV search engine commercials ...I absolutely love that ad campaign about our 21st century society and information overload. It doesn't take much to over load me...but I have had nearly 53 years of practice now.
I pick up aluminum cans off the streets, and out of trash bins, bring
home and wash throughly. Then I create something of value with them.

Being a recycle nut myself I love this little necklace, it's different and outstanding. Great idea.

Best of all, NO sharp edges, extremely light weight, noise free, and comfortable because the charms were backed in EVA foam. EVA foam is "flip flop" shoe foam.
Yes, even though I have to remake it 4 times (very challenging) , and nearly cried out of frustration (EXTREMELY rare!), its one of my all time favorites.

These are beautiful pieces of art. What is EVA foam, btw?
Urban Woodswalker (35 months ago | reply)
What is EVA Foam?
"EVA" stands for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate which can be formulated into a closed cell foam product.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene-vinyl_acetate
Eva foam is used in ...mattresses, and furniture, and flip flops! :-) Its used in a LOT of modern items.

Would you mind taking a look at this web sitethingsrecycledusefully.tumblr.com and see if you could help me find things about what this page requires? :)
Urban Woodswalker (4 months ago | reply)
I am not sure what you mean Pa_Ul
The photos there are poor, and there should be some info beneath each image. People do not like clicking links for the most basic info. I hope this helps. Also, repurposing something is not always recycling in a technical sense.
