flower badge, version two

It took a while to make these badge holders since I had to save the medicine caps. I also was picky in what type of color I would save and I also had to get some badge holders to glue the flowers too. Woo hoo, I was able to make 4 flower badges this time around. Two are gifts and the other two are mine. I've had issues on one of the badges where the flower came off. The ones I gave away reported no problems, so it must be me. I do tend to be a little rough with my belongings.

diy badge holders

The badges above are homemade by moi. I cannot take any credit for the idea of these "green" diy (do-it-yourself) badge holders. The idea was from a traveler nurse that worked in my unit. A dear friend made her a flower badge out of medicine caps. I found them to be inventive in recycling evil plastic caps. Many of these medicine caps are thrown in the trash and to live forever in a landfill. So why not get creative, save the caps and make a flower out of it. The scary part is, I didn't have to wait 2 or 3 weeks to collect my medicine caps, just 2 work shifts! My goal is to make flower badges for my unit to any coworker who is interested. To glue the pieces together was easy as 5 minutes. Hopefully they will take my offer because throwing away medicine caps are another waste product for an ever growing landfill. (-_-)

my first post

My goals of creating this blog is to start being creative again. Granted, taking pictures is the most easiest form of self expression. It has been my tool of creativity for the past 3 years, when I abandoned my career as a freelance graphic designer. The word abandoned is so sad, but it's true. I created a blog to make collages, and even then I haven't done any collages since my birthday extravaganza of Cabo, Mexico. So, this blog will dedicate all my creative inspirations to my doodles and sketches. I start this blog with a Coke can advert I saw while perusing the fashion blogs. I really luv this advert, especially the black and white hand drawn flower on top. It's so arty and I can picture this thing in a cafe or picnic in a park. Just a lovely can.
