General Ideas

> turn nettels into ropes and try to make textile or baskets etc. out of it
> recycle trash into pots for plants + take kitchen scrapes/ herbs/ seeds for regrowing itself.
> turn natural ressources into colours/ paint. for example thumeric = yellow
> I could also combine these ideas into one big project: selfmade coloured basket = pot for the regrowing 
        plant. 
> find a new usage for trash 
> generating Bio gas by using compost

"Chosen idea" use empty masen jars (my flatmates&me have a huge collection) give them a new life by turning them into terrariums

  • How to:
> first layer: gravel
> second layer: soil 
> third layer: taller plants (place them et the back), smaller plants (placed at the front) 
> last step: place moss, nice looking stones and pieces of tree trunks
> (extra step: place tiny insects that are good for the little eco-system: for example snails and spring tails)

- this project is a great way to keep the plant life sustainable, learn more about micro-organisms and place them in an aestheticly pleasing way

  • RULE FOR PLANTS: Either collect or buy them, no harm should be involved!

Finding plants that lay on the ground only: ImagePLANT2.jpegMosss.jpeg

Moss that is ripped from its place of growth, takes years to regrow. If it is already decaptivated from its origin, its safe to take. Ask mother nature if it would hurt, if its taken away!)

Further development of this project:

Through collecting plants, it was quickly noticed that there is a lot of trash laying around too. Simply picking up the trash, helps the environment all around. Some trash that has been collected could even be used as a Trash-Terrarium, giving trash a new purpose: sustainable aestheticly pleasing art

another way to create life forms in glass containers is to:

"Grow plants in a sterile glas environment"

"Different types of trash" Through collecting trash and putting them in glass containers, it creates a transparent way of trash being displayed aestheticly, pathology of trash, recycled in years, being able to observe the process
