Good Reads #4: Haiku for You on the Bolt Versus the Screw

And now a poem in honor of National Poetry Month, in the form of Haiku...

In bolt versus screw

The only difference is

The means to secure

BOOM! We rocked it! Both elegant and informative - man o man, do I love me some Haiku.

In case you need more information on the differences between a bolt and a screw, click the link below here for a great little explanation (and also our inspiration for today):

SCREW VS BOLT

Happy Birthday Marc!

Today we are wishing fashion icon Marc Jacobs a happy birthday.  In our humble opinion, he makes the best fastener jewelry. Take a look!

Hex shaped bracelets

Slice of a bolt

Hex nut ring

A lot of hex nuts on a bracelet

Hex nut necklace

The wrap around bracelet.


You can find them at his Marc's Website, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom and Shopbop.

He wasn't the first to do it, and he won't be the last, but he is our favorite so

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISTER JACOBS!

And here's a little poetry for April:

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Fasteners & gold

make me drool...

(It sort of rhymes.)

Trash, Books & Poetry

April is a busy month - Earth Day, National Library Week, National Poetry Month - so we going to focus on two things all month long:

Reading & Recycling

To start things off we found a lady that makes stuff out of recycled nuts & washers!

Her name is Tammy Roy and she made all of these.

According to Inhabitat.com  "The Wisconsin mother of three and former graphic designer traded-in working with fonts and ink samples to pick up a welding torch and make these bowls out of found hardware. She heads to industrial dumpsters and scrapyards to find discarded metal materials to use for the bowls and from the finished product, we see that she was successful."

Then the writer of the above quote, Mike Foran, said the funniest thing - just don't try to eat cereal out of them unless you want to lose all of your milk - hahaaha! 

My niece would be thrilled with this one - her favorite thing (watermelon) would fit perfectly in it.

I would call this one my "Banana & Avocado" Bowl

Even tea lights and coasters - I love them!

And they are for sale right now at the Sawbridge Studios Website. 

Lastly in honor of poetry month - here's a limerick for you to read:

She found the nuts out in the trash

She filled her bag up in a dash

With her welding tool

She made things super cool

And they're up for sale but I don't have the cash.

Nice work Tammy Roy! I'm going to buy 1 one day.
