TALKING TRASH
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and, for eco-artware, it runs landfill-deep. These eclectic artisans fashion accessories, clothing and housewares from, quite literally, garbage. Colorful Mardi Gras Pins, for instance, are constructed from old Mardi Gras costumes, ball gowns and broken television set wires ($18 and up). Other innovative twists include mirrors wrapped with surplus telephone wire ($125), sleek piggy banks molded with used coffee grounds ($30) and beaded jewelry made from old copies of Vogue ($14 and up). eco-artware also sells some items not crafted from recycled material, like shawls from India and Nepal.
