Working entirely with post-consumer recyclable plastics, artist David Edgar started creating creatures from the sea in the form of fish with sizes ranging to small pieces of jewelry up to large wall hangings. He has since moved into making jellyfish lamps. He was having so much fun making these creatures, he got together with his wife and wrote a book. You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy Fantastic Recycled Plastic. Just reading and viewing the full-color pages will inspire you to recycle, learn more about plastic, and appreciate the art. Makes me want to start saving my detergent bottles.
