This is made with pony beads of two sizes, crocheted thread, and a bead from a thrift store necklace. It took me a couple days.

Colorful Patterns of Stained Glass Nestle Within Repurposed Sea Defense Timber

Based in the coastal town of Shoreham-by-Sea, England, artist Louise Durham creates towering wooden sculptures of reclaimed sea defense timber and vibrant stained glass. She embeds stripes and circles in a full spectrum of color within the totem-style works, which when illuminated, cast kaleidoscopic shadows on their surroundings. “It is all about the light,” she says. “That’s the magic of glass and the magic of all living things.”

  I am constantly amazed by the ideas people are able to come up with when building a home. Take Tjibbe Knol and Ingrid Blans, their home designed by 2012Architects is made of 60 percent recycled materials. Located in the Netherlands, this home is a great example of beauty and efficiency. Due to the use of recycled materials and low transportation costs this home is able to greatly reduce the amount of carbon footprint emitted into the atmosphere. The exterior of the home is composed of steel framework, which was brought from disused machinery from a  nearby textile mill. If building a home is something you plan to undertake keep in mind alternative resources that our world has to offer. (Right) The interior of the home is comprised of 90 percent recycled materials.
