And this is what was in the mould.
Each colour represents a day of work. So 8 days worth here.
With alot if bolts done up and undone to go with them.

Everytime i undo the moulds the pattern changes. And i love that.

These hearts become individual wall hearts. Wind chimes and long wall Hangings.

What would you make with this type of mould?
Let me know in the comments.

What do you consume with this colour lid?
Do you recycle them?
Where do you take them?
Help others out with places that have lid drop points.

Here in Otautahi Christchurch they can be taken to Riverlution Richmond Community Garden
Where I can pay a koha and pick some up to use in my art.

The next reel will have all the products I use the dark green lids in.

Washing the dark green lids.

Absolutely my least favourite coloured lid even though I really love the colour blue.

24/08/2026

I mostly wash the lids in the winter time now days. When they go onto the clothes drying rack above the fire. They dry within 2 days. In the summer it takes a lot longer on the clothes line outside.
I do put a couple of towels down over the floor to catch the drips in the first couple of hours.

Id like to send special thanks to Bex for her awesome work capturing what i do here. Thank you. 👏
