I love the Home section of the Times and look forward to it every Thursday. In Currents this week Shari Mendelson was the spot light. Talk about creativity…She makes these amazing vases and decanters by mixing empty plastic beverage containers with hot glue. Really? Yes…
Pretty and certainly unrecognizable from their original source, she uses trash day throw-aways to make her magic. And although many different types of bottles will work, she prefers certain brands more for their shape and color.
Wow. Take a look at the end result - the patterns, designs and colors she creates are absolutely beautiful…
I have a very hard time resisting a great vase, as fresh flowers make me happy. I’m typically drawn to iridescent glass and delicate details, so when I saw these they reminded me of the vintage modern Scandinavian designs I collect. I have no idea what they cost, but I want one…
Personally, I will never look at my water bottle the same. From trash to treasure, literally...
