#Copyright#IP#CircularEconomy#Upcycling#Environment#Sustainability#HumanRights: "As the environmental crisis escalates due to overproduction and overconsumption, there is an increasing recognition of the urgent need for environmental consciousness and a shift towards a sustainable, circular economy (see, in the intellectual property context, Pihlajarinne & Ballardini (2020), Senftleben (2023), Calboli (2024)). Upcycling, notably, which involves reworking old items or their parts into new ones, has emerged as a tangible effort to address the negative impacts of this crisis. However, copyright protection may unexpectedly clash with this sustainable practice, as certain upcycled items could include copyrighted prints, ornaments, or design patterns from the original materials, such as new clothing items made out of old bed sheets, curtains, or tablecloths, or jewellery made from broken porcelain." https://copyrightblog.kluweriplaw.com/2024/05/30/copyright-upcycling-and-the-human-right-to-environmental-protection/
I was rummaging through old photos and found this testimony of how I started (and then got hooked on) #VisibleMending. Moths had eaten holes in my favourite jumper. I was furious and swore revenge with a needle. Since I couldn't embroider properly or be accurate, I "needle-painted" yarn moths. Today, everyone thinks the jumper is an expensive designer piece. 🤭
🧵 1/ My new #VisibleMending project: This linen-yarn T-shirt is a memento of my dog, who once got stuck at the bottom with his claw and tore a hole. It's darned in the shape of a yellow beetle. To make the whole thing more harmonious, I'm going to do a few small appliqués elsewhere today. @visiblemending
Yesterday I found a piece laminate in my basement and decided to build 🛠️ a small box for my stuff. For the box I used only parts I already had ♻️. It's a good project for beginners 👍.
Aujourd'hui j'ai passé du temps dans le garatelier. Après beaucoup de temps à dessiner sur FreeCAD, chercher la quincaillerie, commander des trucs, ... Retourner dans le garatelier, ranger, trouver des trucs et finalement assembler un meuble à partir de vieux bouts d'armoire et de deux panneaux récupérés dans la rue il y a des années. Ça m'a fait un bien fou!
Il faut que je fasse des étagères et il sera fonctionnel. (Bon, j'ai déjà mis des trucs dedans en attendant!)
Suche Material zum Thema Textilproduktion (Arbeitsschritte, Wasserverbrauch…) und „Upcycling“ der letzten Jahrhunderte: Flicken, Stopfen, Boro, Kawandi, Patchwork, whatever.
Klasse 5 bis 9 Projekttageplan: selbst Nähen (Hand und Maschine) und Info/Thema Wertschätzung des Materials - um Geld zu sparen, um die Umwelt zu schonen, als Mode-Stil (Boro/Sashiko).
Écrire dans des livres anciens, c'est possible grâce à "Not a book" !
L'initiative a vu le jour en 2020 car trop de livres sont jetés alors qu'ils présentent un intérêt esthétique ou historique.
Les livres anciens sont sauvés de la destruction et transformés en carnets : à la place des pages trop abîmées pour être lues, des artisans relieurs insèrent des pages vierges et restaurent ces ouvrages en pièces uniques.
À vous ensuite d'écrire une nouvelle page de leur histoire 🤩
J'ai découvert cette initiative à la boutique de la Comédie Française, mais un site est également disponible pour vous procurer un livre : https://www.not-a-book.fr/
Gibt es irgendwo Bedarf für bis zu 250 leere Raspberry Pi-Gehäuse? Oder kennt Ihr Einrichtungen, Hacker-Spaces, Freifunk-Gruppen etc., die eine größere Anzahl an leeren Raspberry Pi-Gehäusen gebrauchen könnten?
Hört Euch bitte um und meldet Bedarfe gerne bei mir. Wenn es keine Abnehmer:innen gibt, müsste das Unternehmen, dass diese leeren Raspberry Pi-Gehäuse abgibt, sie entsorgen. ♻️♻️♻️ statt 🗑️🗑️🗑️ - #Upcycling
P.S. Die Leergehäuse wurden der Computertruhe München angeboten, wo ich aktiv bin.
It turns out paper cups can be just as toxic as conventional plastic ones. Kudos to the companies that bake edible cups made of waffles or biscuits or use an origami-like technique to fold paper into cups.
Mt. Everest is laden with waste left by climbers — Nepal's Department of Tourism estimates that there are nearly 140,000 tons. Now, some of that material is finding its way to Tharu craftswomen who combine discarded ropes with moonj, a traditionally harvested wild grass, to make boxes and mats. NPR's Tanka Dhakal explains more about how the program works, and how its organizers hope it will grow.
I have a lot of plants 🍃. So I decided to build a small shelf for them 📐. This is my result from last weekend 🛠️. I used only "old" materials that I already had.
In our Sunday animations in the #culturalHeritage centre, I finished my #visibleMending project: a #secondHand jacket with a completely scuffed collar. For a better look I fixed 2 more patches. All people were very curious. Then the reactions:
⭕️ I would never dare to wear s'th with patches.
⭕️ I never had the time (but they have time for TV, social media etc.) @visiblemending@sewing
Last night I dreamed that I found a ratty point-of-sale or similar device at an estate sale or garage sale or in the recycling or something (unclear), and when I got it home and took it apart the thermal printer mechanism was a standalone unit connected to the rest of the machine by an RS-232 serial cable, so I was able to just pull it out and start printing stuff to it. Good times. #retrocomputing#dreams#upcycling
Do you remember my #VisibleMending project with a second hand #blazer? https://mastodon.online/@NatureMC/111884442223704931 The collar with a suede imitation was completely worn out. For contrast, I choose a chicken print from the Provence, and for harmony, more patches. It's nearly ready. Problem: the remaining collar tips are unequal. I decided to applicate different motives on them to conceal it. @visiblemending@sewing
