Recycled Plastic Bottles


One of my favorite art projects. I turn our families water, juice, and most any plastic bottle into little people and critters who have pledge to help save the Earth by living on.This little "Owl" began life as a plastic juice bottle. He was born through many hours of acrylic glaze painting. His feathers was "grown" with artifical willow tree flowers .His beak and foot were formed from Sculpty, and he has a few inches of sand in his belly to keep him from becoming week and toppling. He has been sealed with a matte varnish to ensure a long and healthy life.
