Peacock dress.

This dress is made from men´s ties (about 60 pcs) handsewn together and a secondhand corset.

She made this dress using a 70´s white dress as base (the white top part). She sewed 5 vintage lady-scarfs together and attached them to the top part. This dress fits 3 different sizes because the diagonally-placed scarfs give away.

Re-Cycled bottles into beautiful flowers

Behold Artinav

These flowers are 100% recycled- made of plastic bottles. They come in different colours, patterns and shapes. They are painted with acrylic paint and are sprayed with clear varnish.

They are so bright of colorful. The best part is they will last a long time for you to enjoy.

oh….so pretty.

Re-Purpose it.  Re-claim it

Behold Artsy

Cat Bishop’s work explores the disconnect between the self each of us harbors inside and the self we present to the world. If our outward appearances were to accurately reflect the incongruity we feel inside, on a daily basis, we’d look like these people–eyes asymetrical, faces askew, legs off at uncomfortable angles, ill matched jello molds for boobs. The work is about the ways we assemble ourselves, the cobbling together of a self more presentable than the one we know. In this way what Bishop creates are also masks and disguises. So while the work is, in a deep way, about self-perception, self-scrutiny and self-flaggelation, the artist clearly has fun with it. The faces and figures come across as comical and entertaining, not dark or menacing.

That’s better than the trash heap!
