A collection of blue flowers


KEEPING THE BLUE PLANET BLUE ONE FLOWER AT A TIME

My blue flowers are made of shampoo containers plastic and bottle pet plastic. When possible I used poor materials to answer Design 101 challenges. It was a deliberate option from the beginning of the course.
Obviously we look at it and think reduce-reuse-recycle.



Here's how  I presented the different flowers on iversity platform. 
I used a little humour on this first aproach - the single blue flower.

For the blue flower series I got more serious. Are we making enough to reduce waste? Or is it just flower after flower after flower?



The flower lamp proposal - because I got carried away and created two single blue flowers - deals with equilibrium between opposite forces, darkness and light. That's the key to survival of the Earth and ourselves. 
May Sarton was a poet and she loved Nature and flowers. So I found this quote and possibly influenced by Design 101's use of quotes used her words instead of mine.


Reduce - Reuse - Recycle
