With "R" for Recycle

Sow for your children, sow for my grandchildren.

Hello community:

From my love and demonstration for our green planet I will be transmitting in this publication. I am neither a painter nor a drawer, but I am eager to express myself for the benefit of our great home.

Mother Nature: to her we are totally indebted, for she is the essence of our existence. From her we derive the benefit of life and our response should be to look after her well-being.

Many countries have projects focused on the "3Rs" (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), which is very important for environmental protection. Another important factor is people's awareness and the small contribution that each person makes in his or her own environment.

I have a particular way of loving and caring from my lifestyle and that is precisely by reducing waste, using materials such as recycled products to create new useful products.

With "R" for reciprocity I approach this weekend's theme and in green I highlight the outlines with which I try to simulate this letter.

Three copies made up of the tools that accompany me in my handicrafts with recycled elements, giving new opportunities for use and extending the life of the material created for a purpose.

Water, thread, scissors, centimetre and pencil accompany me in my sewing crafts where imagination flies trying to solve, with disused elements, new useful projects.

Tweezers, screwdrivers and semicircles form another "R" that represent the presence in another type of work of my crafts that can be of costume jewellery or any other subject.

Carpentry is another of the themes in which I have ventured, always from the perspective of recycling, in which a hammer is essential, as well as a brush or a paintbrush to give the finish.

To make these drawings I used physical tools. First I made a selection that allowed me to recreate a letter "R" (that was my intention, I don't know if I succeeded). Then I transferred to paper the image I wanted to express.

The paper I used was recycled. After having the sketches made in pencil, I reinforced the outlines with black ballpoint ink and with a green pen I highlighted the "R" that I intended to express with this work.

This was the concept I found to express what I do for nature and the planet, I hope you will excuse me for the cartoonists and painters.

I think that every contribution counts and that human beings should safeguard to ensure the future of the generations to come, that they can enjoy the natural resources as our ancestors did and as we have been doing. That is why I also involve my son in my work and teach him the importance of it.

Here I leave you a sample of some of the work I have done using recycled materials which, as well as helping the environment, makes me proud to say that I did it myself. 😊

Have a good weekend!
