Recycled Art

I love to find artwork and art pieces that have been made with "trash".  I am not talking about the icky things hiding in your actual trashcan but the recycleable parts.  There are many things that can be taken out of the waste stream and reused in many ways. 
 
Fine art pieces that are made entirely from recycled products can be pretty amazing. I am posting pictures and links to the artists websites below to some of the best ones that I have found just this week.  Who knows, maybe you will be inspired to create something from an already existing product as well.
