This morning should be an interesting start to the day. My friend Doug told me some time ago about a group called freecycle.com. The premise is as follows. To keep things from going into landfills, we should recycle things as best we can by simply offering them free to others instead of throwing them away. Well, he called me a couple of days ago because there was a listing about someone giving away a truck full of free glazes for ceramics. He thought I might be able to use them for myself or for the school.
So, I responded to the email list and after a day of consideration, I won the offer. So, this morning Connie,Zack and I are off to get it. The question is what is the stuff like? Glazes can dry up etc. so I'm not sure what I'm getting myself into. I'm hoping I'm not just taking a load of stuff out of someone's garage for them. I have no idea where I'm going to put all of this stuff, anyway. Should be interesting. Mom's giving me some room in her garage to store things, so that will help. My studio takes up about 1/3 of the garage as it is. I've thrown so much out and there's still so much to get rid of. I guess I'll put some stuff in the freecycle myself.

I am making them to hang. They are really to heavy to wear. I thought they would make cool decorations at school for the classrooms.
Freecycle is a great idea. I'm more interested in giving stuff away than getting it because I already have so much junk I don't need. For example, I have a brand new screen door that was left here because it was the wrong size, but it's for a patio door and was very expensive. Be a great find for someone.
