After that last post, I thought I'd see who else out there loves upcycled art. This post is the result of some of my findings (also know as my wishlist, in case anyone wants to buy me things) ;)
A quick search on Etsy produced the following products: (if you buy from them, be sure to let them know HGJ sent you!)

Found here, for $17, it is a 3.25'' x 6.5'' magnet called "Beautiful Brew"
If I drank coffee, I'd have probably already purchased it.
You can purchase this bowl, made from Magazines for $29 at this Etsy shop.
The description from the artist is:
"It measures 8.5 inches across and is 2.5 to 2.75 inches high. The top edge is not even intentionally. It was made by my daughter and it took many hours to make it. It would be perfect for keys and/or mail in an entryway, sitting on your desk at work, and a conversation starter on your coffee table. It is quite sturdy and heavy. "
I LOVE this concept! If it weren't $105, I'd buy it immediately. As it is, maybe I'll wait for something special and then buy one.

The coolest thing about this piece is that I've bought that wine before. For $9, you too can have a bottle formerly for holding wine, now hold a candle.
The Artist wrote:The best thing about leaving the label on a wine bottle during the cutting process is the ability to make the label "glow" when a candle lights it up from the inside. We think you will find this "Barefoot" wine bottle candle makes for an amazingly ambient glow to set a relaxing, romantic mood.
It comes complete with the stones and (a fresh) candle as you see pictured above. When the candle burns out, just drop another one inside and enjoy it over and over again!
The glass rim has been frost-polished to be safe and smooth to the touch. You will enjoy this upcycled home accent!

It looks like an expensive diamond ring, right? Turns out, it is from a chandelier! (and only costs $19.50 - much cheaper than a diamond ring)
From the artist: This simple elegant ring featured a unique vintage chandelier crystal held in place by a hand formed sterling silver twist setting that allows the large prism to hover over the finger with fasteners at the top and bottom for a beautiful modern look.
Buy it here.
I've been holding onto this picture for a while now. I took it one day while browsing the Brookline Booksmith (my favorite local bookstore). I took a picture so that I could try to recreate it on my own....I haven't, but maybe this is this inspiration that I need?
Visiting a friend this afternoon, my eyes caught on a refinished Library Card Catalogue sitting in her office. What a great accent piece! I'd love to see what others have done with card catalogues now that libraries have moved to computerized listings.
Lastly, I've enjoyed these works of art from John T. Unger's site, made from recycled goods.

In case you were wondering, no one sponsored this post, none of these artists even know that I'm admiring their work. I just searched until I found five items that I liked - and I wanted to share them with you.
