Newspaper Vases: These fun, sculptural shapes are made from pages and pages of recycled newspaper. The paper has been fanned around a recycled aluminum vase insert to create a form that is soft and pleasing to the touch.

Tire Baskets: Discarded rubber auto tires and bike tires are salvaged and stitched together to create unique functional art.
