Fun Finds.{Art Highlight} Waste Landscape

August 24, 2011
One man’s trash can truly be another man’s treasure.  Artist Elise Morin used 65,000 unsold or donated CDs to create this gorgeous landscape.
It makes you think: are there things that we don’t use anymore but could be remade into something beautiful?
