My Newest Recycled Creation

Recycled Bottle Creations

A broken bottle becomes a beautiful work of art from such a simple idea.

All it takes is a hammer to start, then I find the perfect curves in the glass and cut leaf shapes, grind, foil, and solder together with some galvanized wire.

Each is a one-of-a-kind and overlapped on a colorful frame of stained glass.

I will be adding more creations in this series to my Etsy shop.

Here are 2 that are listed. The first is called "Summer Breeze"
and the 2nd is "Indigenous Leaves"

Keep watching for new creations.
