Living LEIF - Cast Bottles

Witness a true transformation of trash to treasure right from the streets of Holland. The innovative design group LEIF has created these beautiful cast bottle vases literally right from out of the trash! This beautiful series serves as a wonderful example of how everyday objects can be turned into beautiful objects... The bold colors are what give these vessels a fresh breath of life- inspiring me to try something similar on found objects around my home- perhaps some kern jars or tin cans? The endless possibilities are pretty exciting! Hope you find some inspiration as well!
