From the publisher Quarry Books:
"Artists and crafters have always been recyclers, but for many, it has not only become a thrifty choice, it has become a moral imperative. 1000 Ideas for Creative Reuse contains a cutting edge collection of the most inventive work being made with re-used, upcycled, and already existing materials. The work in this book ranges from clever and humble personal accessories to unique and important large-scale works of art, including paper art, fashion, jewelry, housewares, interiors, and installations."
(Over the Counter is a regular feature at A Bookworm's World. I've sadly come the realization that I cannot physically read every book that catches my interest as it crosses over my counter at the library. But... I can mention them and maybe one of them will catch your eye as well. See if your local library has them on their shelves!)
What a great book! I've always said we should emphasize re-use along with recycling.
ReplyDeleteI like this feature very much! I'm not very crafty, so when it comes to being creative (especially when it comes to decor) I can use all the help I can get.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an awesome book. I'm always looking at the "garbage" and saying "I bet I could use that in a craft project". My husband just shakes his head.
