Art from Recycled Plastic Bottles

Oooh la la! Check out this newly released and absolutely amazing craft book: Fantastic Recycled Plastics by David and Robin Edgar (from Lark books).  My jaw hit the floor as I leafed through the pages and pages of wall art made from recycled laundry detergent bottles. Prepare to be stunned!

And here is another jelly fish lamp (below).

Can you even believe such beauty could be made from everyday items we put into our trash? In this book, David and Robin share several beautifully photographed projects they have made, discuss tools they use and give tutorials and templates for items to make. They also travel to give demonstrations and teach classes on how to make some of their items.  I am completely inspired and simply cannot wait to try some of the projects David and Robin share in this book.
