Gorgeous Recycling - Corks...

Ha, only a... ooo 6 days...left! So gotta drag out this recycling / arty thing a bit more ;) Although, I've honestly been a bit distracted from the blog with painting a picture I've been putting off for a while! Hate to admit I've been lazy and just letting blog tick off some scheduled posts - forgive me faithful reader (you know who you are....)



"Why would you want to cover your truck in corks? Better yet, why WOULD’NT you? Cork is naturally impermeable and water resistant – there’s a reason it’s used to seal bottles, after all. As for the Cork Truck, owner Jan Elftmann didn’t actually drink 10,000 bottles of wine to get the corks which cover her truck; she saved them up while working for 13 years as a waitress at an Italian restaurant."
