Nina, “the Cat”, helps to drive our art, dumpster diving and thrift store creativity

No one is successful without help.  Nina a.k.a. “The Cat” is by my side when  I’m working.  Here are a few pics of her hanging out with me while working a project.   I worked! >>>>>>> She relaxed on the bed!

Our relationship started off rocky.  Nina “The Cat” is a bit Crazy! Loco! Nuts! Not only does she think she’s the queen of sheeba, but also she loves to scratch me.

Our relationship, though crazy, is a good one. She demands that I pet her by meowing in a high pitched tone.     I pet her.  A PERFECT RELATIONSHIP !

Sometimes when I try to pet her she tries to swipe at me.  A little reminder of her mental state.

She puts the “F” in finicky. 

Other times she drives her head into my thigh.  Her way of demanding attention.

Our relationship is growing, she is my friend and she’s great company (so long as a pet her, feed her, drop her poop in the trash can, give her cat nip ….. you get the point!)

Like they say I get by with a little help from my friend.

Peace and good vibrations :::::: ThriftStoreRemix

Hey RemiXOLogists :::::

The previous post, explored my thrift store | dumpster diving  | community salvage fetish.  I appreciate the positive feedback it received.

I often think about the things that influence my passion.  It is exciting reMIxing discarded objects (trash). It is KEWL when they objects are transformed  into unique, interesting art or restored back to their original glory.

Interestingy, rEmiXing also helps me feel as though I’m doing my little part to help the environment. Today over 3,500 U.S. landfills exist and over 214 million tons per year of municipal solid waste is generated each year.

Not sure if I’m yet ready to join the Sierra Club or Greenpeace. I will continue to do my part.

Please share your ThriftStoreRemix your recycling or reMIXing ideas. We’ll post them on the site.

Until then, enjoy this unique video. It demonstrates a KEWL way to remiX old plastic bottles.

Peace and good vibrations :::::: ThriftStoreRemix

ThriftStoreRemixology

by Derrick Douglass

Jul 14.2010

ThriftStore ReMixoLogy :::: is the transformation of used furniture by a ReMixOLogist who adds their unique personal artistry and flair to the piece.   Additionally, ReMixOlologists rEeMiXs seemingly unrelated items to create one of a kind home furnishings.

Furniture and items are purchased at thrift stores, found in dumpsters, bought at Home Depot, dug up on Craigslist or simply found by the side of the road (no kidding!).

The result is a newly created, unique piece that is ascetically appealing  and cool to check out.

:::::::

ThriftStore ReMixoLogy is about you, we’d get a kick out of building a community of like minded folks (ReMixOLogists) who believe that art and thriftstore discoveries are great.
