  1. Junk art! It looks good but then again they have to be disposed of properly.
    Happy WW!

  2. 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!

  3. Fascinating way to draw attention to the volume of "stuff" we generate.

  5. PixieDusk: I'm sure it will be properly recycled at end of season. The Arb is all about sustainability. ☺

  6. What an interesting art way to reuse something that would otherwise cause a buildup in our landfills.

    Love the colors.!!

  7. 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! ☺

  8. I love when people take trash and make pretty things from it; especially when it also creates an important discussion.

  10. 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

  11. 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.

  12. Captivating: It is indeed, and this is certainly an original idea. Thanks for visiting!

  13. 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.

  16. Pretty colors! That's a fun way to upcycle bottles. I've seen sculptures made out of CDs, too.

  17. Kristin: Definitely different, right? ☺
