Trashlantis

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: 3 Feet of Air

Home: California, United States

Trashlantis is a mobile performance & kinetic sculpture, a backdrop for deep, meaningful conversations with people about the myth of recycling and the hazards of living in a 'plastisphere.' We won this year's Kinetic Grand Championship in Humboldt Country, California. Trashlantis tells a story ripped from today's headlines: plastic is creating brand-new ecosystems in the oceans. Trashlanteans are strange half-human, half-fish and half-trash beings from an ancient oceanic civilization. They comb the beaches and byways, sidewalks and highways for more plastic to build a Trashlantean civilization. They offer humans a chance to explore their relationship to this amazing material– and maybe even provide a splash of hope to those who are already working towards a toxin and trash free future.

The pieces are all made from past year's deadstock Maker Faire Bay Area shirts. These 5 outfits are presented on a series of femme sewing dressforms, sized from 4-12. Remake of deadstock (produced but unworn, unsold pieces) transforms waste into a garment given new life and a new story. These pieces are all wild, extravagant miss velvet cream creations, all upcycled- cut, stitched, ruffled, flounced, ripped, tied, layered, embellished, stretched, and stitched again.

Heat Transfer Vinyl T-Shirts Without a Craft Cutter

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Maker Block

Home: California, United States

I've had a lot of ideas for t-shirts that would have been perfect for HTV (heat transfer vinyl) but I don't have a craft cutter. Once I realized I could use a regular craft knife, I had a lot of fun making a variety of t-shirts for myself and my family. For a kid's birthday we made matching themed t-shirts for everyone for way less than it would cost to buy or have one made. It would be a fun and inexpensive way to update an old piece of clothing or add some neat personalization.
