1.1K Smiles Many of us have had that urge to take apart the pen weโre holding just to get a look at the tiny gizmos that make it up. Maybe some of you are like me, and you enjoy getting lost in electronics exposed to the eye due to its clear casing. Some people do have a fascination to find out what makes thingsโฆtick.
One person took this fascination to a whole other level! Dina Amin has made a hobby and an art out of dismantling things and putting them back together into new characters, objects and even stories. New Blog post โจ A question for you!
How would you introduce photography to kids? Buy a cheap useless camera like this? Or wait until they are older?
Or maybe risk it and hand them your Iphone? ๐ #tinkerfriday Subscribe to the Tinker Mail to read all about the things that go in my head every Friday! Link in zee bioโจ A photo posted by Dina Amin (@dina.a.amin) on Aug 3, 2016 at 5:16am PDT Every Friday, Dina uploads a new video on her Instagram page displaying the latest product that she took apart and put back together.
This project of hers is called #TinkerFriday and has gained her over 4,500 followers! What happens when I get a swivel chair + the freedom to use it however I find most rationalโฆ I weave a lil jellyfish from the plastic packaging, of course! ๐ #unfollowexpectations #ู ููุด_ู ูุฑูุถ #ุงูููุง @ikeaegypt @kijamii A video posted by Dina Amin (@dina.a.amin) on Aug 26, 2016 at 3:56am PDT On her website , Dina explains her hobby: We consume too many things to the point that we forgot the amount of work that was put into bringing even the tiniest pieces of things!
We rarely see whatโs inside each product thus treat it as one whole part; not as a plastic cover, with buttons, vibrator motor, mic and so on. Check out what she does to a game controller! ๐ฎ+๐ฅ Can you see ma lil birdies?
