Garbage In + Treasure Out = GITO

Ever heard the saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure"? Well, it is also the concept for my project, except for one major difference: my trash will be(come) my treasure.

I want to create things that I need, that I use everyday, from the stuff that usually ends up in the garbage can, the recycle bin, or even the compost heap.

The "things" I have in mind at the moment are a pen, ink, and paper. I am not sure if I am being too ambitious, but we will see how things go...

I have never made any of those things, and yet I use them all the time. It suits my personal ethic of striving to be as self-reliant as possible, while still partaking in a social context.

Okee-doke? Looking forward to our collective successes and failures over the next few weeks!
