If you are into arts or into planting, then this is the best thing for you. Aside from recycling you can also put paint on it and be creative. This quarantine got me so bored and our bin for bottles is full cause there is no collector of junk, so I decided to do something about it. The materials that you needed are plastic bottles, of course some root or plant if you want to transfer it; then optional - paint for the design -- Think green -- , then optional – paint for the design. You can save some money from buying a plant vase. These are the designs that I made, see photos below.2 points

These are actually wind turbines - not windmills!! They are designed and used for generating renewable energy in the form of electricity from the wind. As opposed to "windmills," which, as the name suggests, were used for milling grain in times gone by... -- got the information from wikipedia -- https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windmill Located at Tanay, Rizal1 point -

Another epic failure! Oh well... The hair turned-out quite nice, I suppose. I'm all out of leave again. I'll have one last attempt at making a half-decent portrait for Resley when I get back next time...1 point -

My first ever painting that was not based on a photograph! This is a purely fictitious scene that I just concocted-up in my imagination. It is supposed to be a view through an old country cottage window, somewhere in the South of England on a warm, sunny morning. The garden pool has some koi swimming around in it and the bench is just waiting for me to take out my coffee and sit on it to watch the koi!

This is what my studio looks like. I find it ideal for pastel painting as the floor is tiled - so very easy to brush or mop clean. It has plenty of windows - so nice and bright with plenty of natural light and quite breezy, which is very important for me in the Philippines. Note the cheap plastic trays, mounted in a portable rack for storing my different colors - and the "angle-poise" lamp for working in the evenings...1 point -

This was my second attempt at this painting. The first one ended-up in the bin after getting severely overworked. My apologies to Resley. I will have to have a go at a different photo next time... — in Manila.1 point -

From a photo of a friend. Sorry.. Not much good..! Anyway, I decided to upload it so at least you can have a good laugh! To be fair, this was a very small painting and I think I can do better when I get home and get back onto some nice big pieces of watercolor paper again..1 point -

My first attempt at a portrait of a friend of mine's niece. I done this during leave from my job in April, 2013. Unfortunately, the weather was extremely hot in the Philippines and I was in a bit of a rush to try and get this finished. I will probably try to make a few very minor adjustments when I get back home but I don't want to try to hard with this, as I will only end-up completely ruining it... Anyway, it is included here as this album is a collection of all my recent work - good, bad or indifferent!

This was about my third attempt at painting a pastel portrait from a photo of a lovely Thai girl, called Tussinee. Each attempt was getting progressively worse than the previous. When I finally realized that I just wasn't in the mood for painting, I lost my patience with it and defaced the thing completely. Then again, when I looked at it, I just thought; "Hey! I'm going to keep this one!"

This is the first stage of the painting. I made the background color scheme by blocking-in the main colors with soft pastels on heavy, course-grained watercolor paper - and then going over the different areas with clean water on a paint brush in order to make a watercolor wash effect. I am basing this painting on a really nice photo by Jim Winsor. http://www.facebook.com/jim.winsor.75 Photo used as reference material with Jim's very kind permission. The original photograph on which this painting will be based, can be down-loaded at: http://www.photoartf...ailway-cp-8856/ The photo was taken in October 2011 and Jim writes: "This was so far the most significant snowfall we have had yet this year. I braved the elements today to capture this rare for me image of such a beauty. I arrived at this location and it was dull and overcast which soon gave way to a lite blowing snowfall. This beauty could be heard off in the distance and low and behold out of the blowing snow she came."© © Jim Winsor

A pretty young girl making the victory sign. From a photo in Joharah Ruth Alonzo's facebook profile: www.facebook.com/prettyjoharah My apologies to Jarah for the hand... I would have tried to make a better job of this but I find if I try too hard to sort-out the mistakes, I just end-up ruining the thing altogether. ('Better to stop while the going is still good...)

From the album: Have a go!
And here it is - the finished painting... As expected, when I was able to buy some Schmincke soft pastels, they adheared very well to the underpainting. Had I not had access to these ultra soft pastels, I would have had to abandon the painting at stage seven, when I probly would have destroyed the thing as I was not really satisfied with it... This is not a briliantly fantastic landscape but I am reasonably happy with it. I am not very good at this particular genre, (I much prefer doing portraits,) but this is probably the first half-decent landscape that I have managed to do. I enjoyed the challenge - and, hopefully, the next one will be better!1 point -

...showing a bit of attitude! A very strong character, this one! Jelyn is also a very pretty girl - something that this portrait in no way gives her justice... Anyway, I quite liked the way that her hair came out, so this painting was not a complete disaster. Soft pastels on Canson colored pastel paper - 18" x 12" (46cm x 31cm)1 point -

Another practice painting. This one was done on a 12" X 16" sheet of Canson Mi Teintes pastel paper. (The background color of the paper was a light, pinkish-grey). I took the photograph, on which this painting was based during a visit to Mindanao, in the Southern part of the Philippines during May of 2006.
