A Night in Paris with Salvage Kul.char

Creating a night in Paris

 .... Bet you didn't know that Salvage Kul.char can give you a complete function solution...

Hand Painted Backdrops

Eiffel Tower at night

Mademoiselle Twané celebrated a birthday party and Salvage Kul.char had the honor of building and painting all the decor items and props, we also staged and did the entire set up for the function.

Our brief was concise, pink and black with white. Of course the Eiffel tower and a French Boulangerie shop was on the list.

We jumped to the opportunity; what did we do.. rented the function items to them and from these the following amongst others were custom made.

Designed and hand painted custom backdrops

Hand painted backdrops and lantern

Eiffel Tower from twigs and sticks

 

  

 

 

Built a bakery shop from re-purposed polystyrene, complete with the shop named after Twane

Cut and painted the Arc de Triomphe from polystyrene blocks 

Photo booth - we placed a cable reel disc on the jacuzzi and the Arc de Triomphe on top of it and voila photo booth

Created Paris Lanterns - all pink

This function for mademoiselle Twane, used 80% re-purposed material. Well done Mademoiselle for doing your share for sustainability.

Get your function hire and decor / prop items from us. Everything from plates to knifes and forks, tables and decor items.

When making props and decor items, we stick to our Salvage culture of up-cycling and re-purposing items.

As a team; we (you and Salvage Kul.char) can add to the sustainability of Mother Earth

Order your Salvage Kulchar product....

• Looking for modern sleek PVC, plastic items?
  
• Looking for undistinguished, regular and commonplace pieces?
  
• Are you looking for mainstream, characterless, insipid products?
  
• Looking for mass produced, mass machined; all from one mold, synthesized products? 
  
  
  Sorry to disappoint you; you are on the wrong site, not going to find those type of products here!!
   

Here at Salvage Kul.char,  we create bespoke, unique, custom designed, handmade  Assemblage Art* items; signs, benches, art objects, tables, lamps, etc. etc

"Assemblage is an artistic process. In the visual arts, 

it consists of making three-dimensional or two-dimensional artistic 

compositions by putting together found objects."   

Some items are practical and functional; others only decorative. - ALL definitely a piece of art completely unique from the mass produced items flooding the shops. 






@ Salvage Kul.char we use salvaged and re-purposed material, thereby keeping items out of the landfills and saving one more tree, and one more stream in the process. 

We put love and effort into the items we make, it is not a heartless production line only chasing $/R's whilst running without a single care about the sustainability of mother earth.

Sharing is cool, so start sharing now !

Sharing is cool: It's the environmental key to maintaining our quality of life

Hey people

This post is a subject close to my heart and to the basis of Salvage Kul.char.  Sharing ...

Sharing is definitely growing in popularity as a greener option.  Sharing promotes sustainability and breaks the evil hold the monster called Consumerism has on modern culture, our environment, our natural resources and our collective future.

Consumerism .....

 

Sharing promotes sustainability

Why Share,

I want to add a new word to the family of RRR - Re-use, Re-Cycle and Re-purpose.  I like to think of it as ShareCycle, no not as in sharing a bicycle :-) but please feel free to do that as well; but rather creating a culture of sharing with each other, whether is in family groups, communities or through the world wide web or any other means.

What does it mean:  Identifying those things we don't need anymore and instead of sending it to the local landfill; sending into a Sharecycle - sharing it with someone how will have a need for it. Therefor keeping goods in a cycle of RRR.  However the biggest obstacle is us the superior race "Humans" and the human pride.  Put it away immediately and think of what you are contributing to the sustainability of eart.  Do not be ashamed to share and also do not to be ashamed to ask and use from the Sharecycle.

Ok; but how do you know if someone wants your "stuff";  there are a few ways;

ShareBox

 a.) Start a community share box; place your item in it.  Others from the community can take from it.  I will do a separate post with basic rules of usage etc. on this specific item; Salvage Kul.char will also be donating a share-box as part of that post.

b.)  Share through a business / church / school newspaper, website, notice board.

c.) Through your local recycling center

d.) Through the Salvage Kul.char online Sharecycle network.  (This is still wip as part of our new website, but it is going to be exciting, more on this shortly in a separate post)

e.) Through your friends and family network; speak up tell your family that you have something to share and ask them to spread the word, I bet you once everyone is used to doing it your own Sharecycle network will be up and running, and you will reap the benefits; financially, environmentally, and more...

Sharing = we don’t act merely for our own good, 

but go out of our way to contribute to the common good

Show what’s possible when we share. Show that we don’t act merely for our own good, but go out of our way to contribute to the common good. Show that we can solve the crises we face, and thrive as never before. Show that a new world is emerging where the more you share the more respect you get, and where life works because everyone helps each other

 

“Sharing is a relatively simple concept and a basic part of human life,” reports Janelle Orsi on Shareable, an online magazine that tells the story of sharing. “What’s new is that people are applying sharing in innovative and far-reaching ways, many of which require complex planning, new ways of thinking and organizing, and new technologies. In short, people are taking sharing to new levels, ranging from relatively simple applications of sharing to community-wide sharing initiatives —and beyond.”



“In a shareable world, things like car sharing, clothing swaps, childcare co-ops, potlucks, and co-housing make life more fun, green, and affordable,” reports Shareable. “When we share, not only is a better life possible, but so is a better world.”
