Announcement I am an Upcycle Artist of paper and plastic. All items are hand-made by me, and are one of a kind! My current obsession is creating paper art on canvas, and sculptural objects from magazines and other colorful paper that would otherwise be thrown away or recycled. This technique is very time consuming, but I also find the process to be very relaxing.

All of my flowers are made from recycled water bottles, and have the appearance of glass or hard candy in the light! They are hand colored, hand cut, and each set of petals is custom melted to fit each flower. Like real flowers, each one is unique. There are no two alike.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions you may have. I would be happy to supply you with additional photos of any item you see here.

If you are interested in an item that has been sold, please let me know and I will try to customize a new, one of a kind item, just for you.

Thanks for looking, and please come again! I'm always working on new items. Who knows what you'll find on your return?

I'd love to know how you make these. They are really very pretty and I don't think anyone else on this website or any other website that I've been on makes them. You make something that's really one-of-a-kind.

Another nice upcycled flower. I just wish someone would ask me about them, so I could tell them what they were made of. Nancy

I think I bought five separate "plastic water bottle" flowers from you to add to a vase that already had ten of your flowers in them. I still have to buy some more to fill out the bouquet. They're very pretty.

I don't know how you figured out how to make these, but you've taken something downright ugly and made something very pretty out of them.

These are just WONDERFUL. I don't know how you make something so pretty to look at out of water bottles, but you did, and I want more, AND you need to make MORE bouquets, because they are the best, I think, of your items for sale. Thank you.
