Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
In honor of Earth Day, I think it’s appropriate to highlight an artist who creates organic works that literally stem from the Earth. Shown is the work of Paul Schick, who pieces together twigs and pods to form both functional and purely decorative constructions. See more of his work at www.paulschick.com.

I love vintage matchbooks and their graphics, they are such a cool little bit of history. Even the concept of a matchbook is dated as there isn’t smoking in public places. So repurposing the packaging format to hold all sorts of tiny things is such a great idea. Pop on over to the blog Reading My Tea Leaves to see all sorts of things you can package in a matchbook and how to make them.
What a fantastic use of materials that can be found so easily!I’m always picking up things I find on the street.Recycled art rocks!
