Social Design Project ! ! !

This Project started out simply as a project to bring awarness of recycling to people. It has transformed into much more. I was going to narrow my project to plastic shopping bags and ask people to stop using them and to use other things and I was going to crochet a bag (and still might). BUT ... This Project has evovled into bringing a change to the building and to the hospitals in Northern Virginia. Now it is a mission of mine to bring recycling into my work building and expand into the Northern Virginia hospitals.

Spinning Jan's Head ! ! !

Yes this is the 4th week of school and for two of my classes I am changing my project. I know Jan's head is spinning. NO!!! I have not procrastinated. I have been thinkin, workin on my other ideas my thought process is weird. I can be in the middle of one project and a Super Great idea comes and I just gotta let one of projects go for my supper dupper idea.

Enameling ... As much as I love Sunflowers my heart just was not into it ... The image I am using now I just can see all the possibilities and am so excited in exploring all that it has to offer. The image is from the interior of the Wynn Hotel Las Vegas.

Droog Project:

Well ... as good of a project Idea 1 is, it just does not feel like Droog to me. Idea 2 speaks to me and feels like droog.

Jan your head should not spin too much I love my Social Design Idea about recycling so am stickin to that.

Droog Project --- Idea 2 ! ! !

BY this time I should have my idea down for my project... I think I just have too many ideas ... I have one that came to my thoughts on Sunday and I loved it. I think Droog will too. Well ... I love all my classes this semester but I can say with no doubt that by far Enameling has become number one ... I might become an Enamalist who knows ... my Idea was to make copper enamelled buttons of different shapes and sizes, make a kit and include a Sewing Kit, Stud Earings, Saftey Pins and Silver Chain . Put it all in a kit with an open ended instruction/idea pamphlet. The pamphlet / Letter would give the customers ideas like "Have an old Coat want to revive it? Change the buttons!" or "Want a Unique Pin? How about a DIY Pin?" the customer could go wild and create what they wanted with these unique one of a kind buttons.

PLEASE COMMENT, DO YOU LIKE IDEA 1 (Listed Below) or IDEA 2 ? ? ?

Droog Project --- Idea 1 ! ! !

I collect foreign coins, have been for years. I have always wanted a way to display them with -out altering them. Well ... The Droog site gave me an idea and so did the brainstorming with other peoples projects. I want to make a necklace to display the coins. I was thinking of getting two thin pieces of glass making a frame around it with the top having an opening latch, that would open it from the top and could slid/drop in 2-3 coins, depending on the size of the coin. I want the necklace to be silver. Maybe to have all three metals, copper, brass, and silver cause the coins have all three metals. I just have to figure out how to go about making the frame with the glass and the opening top.
