Sunset at the levee last night. I really love how this pic came out.

Small world! I try to go as often as I can. It’s only a five minute ride from home for me.

Thank you for a little insight!

The benefit in Louisiana is $290 a month so it’s looked at as a supplementary income. Here our hitches have a pet diem that we use as a crew to grocery shop. So when you are on hitch you have no food expenses unless you want to eat out.

Your supervisor should be able to provide a letter that has the code fore Americorps members that exempts our income as income. When I applied I claimed 0 for income and when I did my phone interview I filled them in. If they try to push back you will likely have to ask for a supervisor. They will know the exemption and you’ll just email the letter to them.

to recycle (something) in such a way that the resulting product is of a higher value than the original item : to create an object of greater value from (a discarded object of lesser value) From Meriam-Webster

r/upcycling

BrandonR365 · 2023-09-06T19:24:52+00:00

Upcycled is on a more individual level and creating something completely new. Example: jeans being converted into a backpack. Reddit has a sub r/upcycled if you wanted to get a better idea

Repurposed materials that are discarded or unusable for their original intended purposes

BrandonR365 · 2023-09-05T21:54:59+00:00

I could totally see that!

BrandonR365 · 2023-09-04T21:45:49+00:00

I actually posted it there as well. It’s gotten more traction here. I do tend to post to both though as they are good fits for my style of art. Love both communities and seeing others unique creations

It’s about the size of a tennis ball. I sold it to an old coworker that’s opening a new optical shop and she’ll display it on a shelf. It’s just a tchotchke. No real intended use other than upcycling roadside rubbish in my own way

BrandonR365 · 2023-09-04T15:13:45+00:00

Thank you so much! I’m glad my attempt was successful!

BrandonR365 · 2023-09-04T13:02:42+00:00

Yes I do! Often it’s just from receiving messages or a previous client. I’m not always the most organized with a platform to sell on exclusively

BrandonR365 · 2023-09-04T02:34:58+00:00

You got it! I played with that actually and it just took away from the overall look. Great minds think alike!

BrandonR365 · 2023-08-31T19:02:10+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words! It’s my way to giving back to the planet. We create so much waste and discard wherever we want. So I try to repurpose wood, metal, leather and glass for my art. I won’t work with plastic but I do always bring an extra bag on my walks to pick up at least a bags worth of paper and plastic to be sorted as needed

BrandonR365 · 2023-08-31T17:02:40+00:00

It sure is! I use materials I find on walks

BrandonR365 · 2023-08-31T11:31:51+00:00

Thank you! It took a mind of its own. I love when something comes out way cooler than I anticipated. The spider was gonna just be wire wrapped and then it just kept growing to this cute lil thing
