Imagine that this dog is in your home. it’s upscale art, made  unbelievably from Discarded Upcycled and Recycled Plastic knives, spoons and forks.  could this be a part of your forever world ?  it certainly could be a part of ours. we love unusual and beautiful art, especially UpCycled Art, like this.

Junk art to make recycling fun and profitable

This is clipped from Greeen Launches

Some people can make art out of anything and everything, and make it so appealing that it sells for big bucks! Artist Sayaka Ganz, 33, has created beautiful animal art using nothing but thousands of plastic spoons, knives and forks! She has managed to create a dog, eagle and fish, and a set of galloping horses ranging from 18 inches to eight feet in length, with around 500 pieces of junk, including sunglasses, cutlery and bendy baskets. Some of the wireframes are quite complicated and can take up to nine months to make. And seen as a collector’s item, you can get one for yourself at $10,895.

These are the Horses – they look as though they are soaring on wind.

Yes this is Plasticware, that would have been discarded but was instead Upcycled.  we love this idea for the reuse of such common plastic items. most of the time we just use them and toss them as a convenience.  imagine if art schools began to teach upcycling as a part of their regular curicullum.

This is what we want to see  – Art and Artists, Soaring Above the idea that trash is useless.  we started contemplating the notion of reuse on a much wider scale recently.  it comes down to seeing something that has been discarded as the beginings, instead of the end.

We can all Soar a little bit higher; when we  reuse, recycle and UPCycle just a little bit more.  share this concept with everyone you know and you’ve made the first step in your UpCycle.

How about a trip to a Sculpture Park made entirely of Discards ?

Love it or hate it – modern art never fails to provoke a reaction. While some people can’t get enough, the majority of people tend to think that contemporary art is a load of rubbish. On that note, some clever people have taken this idea one step further and actually created art from rubbish. Aesthetically-pleasing and environmentally friendly…..surely not? The Rainbow Worrier, a boat created from a staggering 5,000 plastic bags, is a fantastic example of using art to raise environmental awareness – even filled with plastic fish in nets to stress how plastic is destroying marine ecosystems. Created by Devon-based outdoor art group ‘Trail’, the piece won the Recycled Art in Landscape Public Choice Award. Who said plastic recycling wasn’t creative?

Former wrecking and salvage expert, Dr Evemor, has created one of the most incredible sculpture parks in the world, ‘Forevertron’, featuring the world’s largest metal sculpture (120 ft by 60 ft and 50 ft tall – weighing 320 tons). Having used pieces of rubbish dating back to Thomas Edison and the Apollo Space Missions, this eccentric artist proves that one person’s trash is most certainly another person’s treasure.

And Last but certainly not least – for you Olympics Watchers

Coca-Cola staff’s uniform recycled out of plastic bottles for Winter Olympics

We know of plastic bottles being recycled to make a whole lot of amazing stuff. This time, they will be used to make uniforms for the Coca-Cola staff at this year’s Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

Made out of 120 plastic bottles, these uniforms will help Coca-Cola go carbon neutral.

The company has been a loyal sponsor for the games since 1928 and plans to go green for the upcoming games this year. This isn’t the first time Coke has made a green statement with recycling bottles.

PET bottles have been used before to make the world’s biggest recycled artwork during the Recycle Week in Great Britain. The company also opened the world’s largest bottle-to-bottle recycling plant in South Carolina that will produce approximately 100 million pounds of food-grade recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic for reuse each year.

We’re sure you are remembering the piece we did last fall on the drinking straws. this is quite similar, and we wanted to remind you once again that there are lots of things around us that we can reuse, recycle and UPCycle to add to the aesthetics of our own Personal Green Movement. One Day we can Make Our World the Way WE Want it.

One Day Yes, One Day

This is our Green Music Monday Selection – One Day

Keep it Green,
