There is a new lounge/gallery opening in my neighborhood, and it's all about recycling! Everything is made from recycled/energy efficient earth friendly materials. Bar stools made from bicycle rims, love seats from old bath tubs, the bar tile is made from compressed shredded dollar bills, the bathrooms are recycled tile......the owner is featuring several artists recycled pieces as permanent installations, as well as going to exhibit a different artist each month. Here's the most awesome part, not only is this my landlord, and the lounge is literally downstairs, my glass mosaic art is going to be framing the bar
!!!!! Not only that, I am the only featured local Manhattan artist! I am so excited in so many ways about this project, I had to share......

How cool! Congratulations!

Speaking of, I saw some neat recycling projects in the 4-H tent at the fair today. The kids used those foil juice pouches from Capri-sun. They made pocket folders (for school papers) pencil wallets with zippers, book covers...even a lunch box (the foil inside would help keep things cool)

Very innovative stuff!
