I don’t know about you but all my charging and connector cables are one big old mess. This is a wonderful and easy way to organize them. I think it  is a brilliant bit of repurposing since the binder clip was intended to have it’s “functional” part be the black flat metal part but in this use the silver wire part is the one “doing the work”. From an Industrial designer’s POV this is just brilliant..kudos to the designer and the person who had this idea! Here is the link where I found it.

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.
