It’s wine o’clock (somewhere) …
Which means it’s time to share a wine-related repurposing idea: Use corks as coaster tops. (via Libbie on Etsy)

Salud!
It’s wine o’clock (somewhere), so time to share an adult beverage-related repurposing find.

It’s wine o’clock somewhere — which means it’s time to share another wine-related repurposing find.
Today, it’s wine corks used as floor covering.
This photo, via MSN, shows the cork-floor handiwork of Dan Phillips, of Huntsville, Texas-based Phoenix Commotion (mentioned previously on Unconsumption here), which constructs affordable homes from recycled, salvaged, and/or found materials.

Today, it’s stools made from corks. (Could also be used as side tables, maybe?)
If, like me, you’re wondering what these stools’ cores consist of, the source says the stools are “100% cork.” So, there’s that!

Cork seating spotted on LikeCool. Thanks to our friends @dothegreenthing for the tip!
![Popped any corks lately? Check out this lamp: British artist/designer Alkesh Parmar made it from Champagne corks.
Want to see more adult beverage-related repurposing? We’ve featured a bunch of it in our wine o’clock series here.

It’s wine o’clock somewhere(!), which means it’s time to share a wine-related repurposing find.
Today’s find is a DIY idea: Combine corks with scrap fabric to make a nativity scene.
For additional reuse ideas, see earlier posts in Unconsumption’s wine o’clock series here, and holiday-oriented posts here and here.

Today: Corks made into a curtain — which could serve as a room divider.
To make your own: Collect corks (have fun with that!), attach small eye hooks to them, and hang the strings of corks from a rod.

Today, it’s art — on a large scale — made by Grand Rapids-based illustrator/artist Scott Gundersen, who reuses thousands of corks in each work:
Starting with a large photograph that’s transferred to a drawing, Gundersen pins each cork to the canvas, creating a correlation between the hues of the wine-stained corks and the value of light or shadow in the portrait. His latest work, Trisha [pictured above and below], took 3,621 corks to complete, but other works have required over 9,000.
Check out time-lapse videos of Gundersen’s making of “Trisha” here, and “Grace” (shown in the bottom photo), which took 9,217 corks + 50 hours, here.
