Indrani said...: Junk art! It looks good but then again they have to be disposed of properly.
Happy WW!; Tuesday, August 19, 2014 11:19:00 PM
Heather said...: Indrani: Yes, it is important to dispose of or recycle thing properly. I've found a lot of inappropriate "items" thrown in my recycling bin. Thanks for visiting!; Tuesday, August 19, 2014 11:55:00 PM
NCSue said...: Fascinating way to draw attention to the volume of "stuff" we generate.

Heather said...: PixieDusk: I'm sure it will be properly recycled at end of season. The Arb is all about sustainability. ☺; Wednesday, August 20, 2014 11:45:00 AM
Oh My Heartsie WW Linky said...: What an interesting art way to reuse something that would otherwise cause a buildup in our landfills.

Love the colors.!!; Wednesday, August 20, 2014 12:23:00 PM
Heather said...: Karren: I would hope these would have gone into recycling as they should, rather than end up in a landfill but, sadly, some people are not as responsible as they should be. Thanks for visiting! ☺; Wednesday, August 20, 2014 3:46:00 PM
StarTraci said...: I love when people take trash and make pretty things from it; especially when it also creates an important discussion.

Heather said...: Traci: Definitely a win-win situation, wouldn't you say? ☺; Wednesday, August 20, 2014 5:45:00 PM
My Captivating Life said...: Art is so subjective! I certainly think this is pretty! I love when people find ways to repurpose things too! I would love to have you link up at my wordless Weds at www.my-captivating-life.com; Wednesday, August 20, 2014 7:42:00 PM
Beth at PlantPostings said...: I've enjoyed seeing that display at the Arboretum, too. Interesting how they colored all the bottles and the manner in which they draped them and displayed them. I suppose they will be recycled at the end of the summer or fall.; Wednesday, August 20, 2014 9:12:00 PM
Heather said...: Captivating: It is indeed, and this is certainly an original idea. Thanks for visiting!; Wednesday, August 20, 2014 9:40:00 PM
Heather said...: Beth: I can't imagine them relocating this, so my guess is that it will be recycled. I've been meaning to get over to the new photo gallery exhibit, but I haven't been there when the Visitor Center is open. Maybe I'll see what the weather is like for this week's guided walk.; Wednesday, August 20, 2014 9:43:00 PM
Diane said...: Pretty creative way to display what used to be trash! Thanks for linking up on MeHimAndTheCats.com!; Wednesday, August 20, 2014 11:22:00 PM
Heather said...: Diane: It is creative, isn't it? Thanks for visiting!; Thursday, August 21, 2014 12:21:00 PM
Kristin Aquariann said...: Pretty colors! That's a fun way to upcycle bottles. I've seen sculptures made out of CDs, too.; Thursday, August 21, 2014 3:32:00 PM
Heather said...: Kristin: Definitely different, right? ☺; Thursday, August 21, 2014 3:59:00 PM
