Back to the roots: upcycling

Two weeks of bad weather ahead, a heavy cold, temperatures far below the ideal , at the end of new business and inspired by TRASH deluxe, time was come to take up the upcycling thing again. Back to the roots of the story ... cradle to cradle, after all there is cycling in upcycling.

And also inspired by the question how girls can look cool on a bike without being sporty, these wrecks were parked in my garage, looked at in a very suspicious way by my spouse.  Lets see what  we can make of them, using as little as possible new material.

Back to what originally was the intention

 

1. This one looks bad although it has the sense of romanticism.

Her wheels used to be cool, some Pilates

Might also need some work on the but.

 

Just above the legs,  needs also some work

Will it ever work without a complete make over ?



I must have been blind .....

  And even more deceptions when looking close

This one might be an equally desperate case

Found her completely to pieces, with broken arms and no fork to hold on. 

Perhaps after some cleaning the beauty becomes more obvious after all ......

 

 

after all ...... once a Spartan always a Spartan

 

A new flag a new beginning

And yes you're right this one is a bit blurry, it must remain a mistery



However a tip of what still has to come.
