Posted by: myalteredart on: March 15, 2011
Upcycling is the process of taking an item that would normally end up in the trash and turning it into something useful. Upcycled art is the newest green trend.

Upcycling is different from recycling in that items are transformed, rather than melted down and reused. Here is an example:

Another example of upcycled art are these bookmarks made from cards and tags and turned into works of art:
These and many other upcycled art pieces are available for sale at Cornerstone Handcrafts
