Crafted my logo from natural fiber textile waste and plant-based glue, making it biodegradable and sustainable. The plan is to leave it outdoors to the test to see how long it takes to biodegrade. Added some grass seeds for an extra touch!

People are always surprised when I tell them I create art from textile waste. They often picture something crafty and low-quality, but I love seeing their reaction when I show them photos of my work. Their first question? 'How did you make this?' #TextileArt #Upcycling #SustainableCreativity #yarnscraps

Just got back from vacation and already feeling like I need another one! 😅 Who's with me? #VacationBlues #NeedAnotherHoliday

From the bin made it to the Mark Rothko museum

To be honest... living by myself in Scotland and going to exhibitions alone doesn't always feel like an accomplishment. Celebrating surrounded by loved ones in Latvia, the journey of accomplishment feels so much sweeter with friends and family by your side. Grateful for their support and love every step of the way 💖 #Grateful #FriendsAndFamily #CelebratingTogether"

My Artwork to be Exhibited Next to Mark Rothko! ✨🎨 Hey everyone! I've got some thrilling news to share! Since diving into the world of art and design back in 2010, Mark Rothko has been one of my all-time favorite painters. I even attempted to recreate one of his masterpieces – let's just say, it was a hilarious adventure! 😄 Did you know that although he's known as an American painter, Mark Rothko was originally from Latvia? Yep, my hometown Daugavpils, to be precise! And guess what? There's a Mark Rothko museum @rothkomuseum right there, housing some of his original artworks. I've been lucky enough to see them in person – a dream come true! Now, here's the jaw-dropping part: From March onward, one of my artworks will be exhibited in the same building! Can you believe it? Dreams really do come true when you least expect it. Moral of the story: Don't be afraid to dream big! 🌈✨ I still can't wrap my head around it, but I'm over the moon and wanted to share this incredible news with all of you.

We entered my studio with no plans and expectations. I showed Vicky @vickyhuangprints colored sheets made from thread waste that were available to use straight away. In minutes, she chose colours, found a design, and we sketched it out. Five minutes later, she was cutting while I drew a technical pattern. It's amazing what happens when you let go of expectations and simply trust the process. Creativity flows naturally, and the results often exceed any preconceived notions.

A few weeks ago, I hosted a giveaway. Meet The winner was @latelier.nana What's more interesting is that it happened just a week after her birthday. Happy birthday from the universe. To a winner, I offered to make bespoke wall art. We turned her design into an awesome wall art piece. Using eco-friendly materials like natural fibre textile waste and plant-based glue. That's the result! 🌿

One-of-a-kind display mannequin head, crafted from recycled wool and cotton threads sourced from local factories and designers. Embracing sustainability, discarded materials are transformed using eco-friendly plant-based glue, creating a remarkable and environmentally friendly piece of art. Personalize it with your preferred color and height, adding a unique touch to your space

One-of-a-kind display mannequin head is made from recycled materials. The main parts of this artwork are bits of leftover wool thread and cotton thread, gathered from nearby factories. These discarded materials are combined with eco-friendly plant-based glue. The artist has cleverly used these throwaway materials to craft a remarkable and environmentally friendly piece of art. Can be personalized with your preferred colour and height.

Hi, my name is Sandra, and I am the founder of JUNELE, a small business that creates one-of-a-kind decor pieces. Originally from Latvia, I moved to Scotland in 2014 with limited English language skills, learned, addapted and now made it my home. I hold a diploma in interior design and a degree in textile design, which I have combined to bring my passion for sustainable and unique artwork to life. At JUNELE, we believe that every person and space deserves to have decor that reflects their unique appeal. That's why I work closely with customers to create bespoke pieces that suit their individual tastes and needs. I also believe in making a positive impact on the environment by using industrial waste and turning it into something beautiful rather than throwing it away. Decor pieces are made from 100% pre-consumer recycled yarn and mixed with plant-based glue, which means they can be recycled or composted after use. They come in a variety of colors, designs, and sizes to suit any space or style. And did you know that when designed at scale, pieces also have sound absorbent and low-index insulation properties? At JUNELE, it's not just about the final product. It's about the whole journey. It's about communicating new attitudes and ideas through art and creating a positive impact on the environment.

Textile Shedding Machine Adventure Many of you are curious about my textile shedding machine, so let me spill the details. I discovered this machine online, made by a manufacturer in China. They can make it bigger or smaller based on your needs. - Communication Challenges: Dealing with the time difference and language barrier was tricky. Messages took a few days to get replies, and not everyone spoke perfect English, neither me. - Document Drama: To get this machine to the UK, I had to submit some documentations. That added an extra layer of complexity, and time. - Delivery Drama: Getting the machine to the UK wasn't a walk in the park. It took over 2 months, and the delivery cost matched the machine's price. The delivery folks just left it at the doorway and ran away without saying a word. - Heavy Lifting: The machine turned out to be super heavy. I had to find 4!!!man in 20 min to get it out the doorway. Quick shoutout to my friends who helped carry it upstairs, Thanks. - Plug Predicament: Surprise, surprise – no plug! There's a whole saga about the plug situation. Connected it somehow, but it worked for a bit, then suddenly stopped. - Expert Opinions: Electricians and pros came to check it out, and each had a different story. Some said the motor needed rewiring, costing a fortune. - Unexpected Savior: Another electrician found a tiny fuse issue in the plug, costing a mere 5p to fix. Glad I didn't listen to the others. Overall, it took me a year to make this machine run perfectly. Was it the stress worth it? Yes! Would I recommend it? Only if you need extra stress in your life 🤣 The journey was a rollercoaster, but now the machine is up and running, shedding textiles like a champ. #MachineSaga #TextileAdventure

Made to be remaid

I want to be popular! Absolutely, wanting to be popular isn't inherently a bad thing. It's about understanding the platform and influence that popularity can provide. In today's world, being popular often means having a louder voice that people listen to. It's not just about fame or having a lot of money; it's about using that popularity to make a real impact. Think about it this way: When you're looking for advice or guidance, whose words do you pay attention to? Often, it's the individuals who have a platform or influence, those who are seen as 'someone' in society. For me, the goal isn't just to accumulate wealth for personal gain. It's about leveraging popularity to create meaningful change. Sustainability is a big deal for me. It's not just about being trendy; it's about showing that it's worthwhile, important, and cool to care about our planet's future. One of my visions is to establish a gallery or a creative hub that focuses on sustainability. I've realized that many incredibly talented and creative people struggle with self-doubt. They have immense potential but lack confidence. This gallery wouldn't just be a space for showcasing art; it would be a place that supports creatives, helping them overcome doubts and fears. Moreover, mental health is an area that needs urgent attention. Instead of spending years trying to find answers, I envision a hub that integrates the latest developments in mental health support, such as neuropsychology, neurography, quantum psychology...e.t.c.. Imagine being able to transform your reality in hours, days, not years. To make these ambitious plans a reality, yes, gaining popularity becomes crucial. It's not about seeking attention for vanity; it's about garnering attention to support these initiatives, to spread awareness, and to inspire others to join in creating a better future for all. The world is evolving rapidly, and I believe the future is happening right now. By using popularity as a tool for positive change, I aim to build a sustainable, supportive, and innovative community where creativity flourishes, doubts diminish, and mental health is nurtured 💛 Photo by @misslydiaphoto Dress by @callan_knit

The art of letting go #dissolveit

✨ Exciting news! ✨ Soon, my organic plant-based glue kits will be available for sale. But before they hit the market, I had to put them to the test. Many of you asked if it's possible to cook the glue, store it, and use it later. Well, guess what? I tried it out! I put the glue in a container, popped it in the fridge for a week, and today, put it to the test. And it works like a charm!✨ Can't wait to share this sustainable magic with you all! Stay tuned! ♻️ #EcoFriendlyCrafting #SustainableGlue #ComingSoon
