I think these pieces are incredibly inspiring the level of imagination and application of colour, technique and material is stunning in these images. whether it is an correct use of old clothes is arguable but I think they are beautiful. I especially like how the clothes can still be identified as clothes not a odd scrap of material.
For my final pieces I want to progress from creating bangles out of old material and use ties or scarfs to create something new.
Another aspect of recycle clothes which I find interesting is that websites exist where you are paid per weight for your old clothes, your clothes are even collected...That's how easy it has become!

This links to a website that pays for your old clothes to be recycled, its interesting that websites are available to recycle clothes per weight, even recycling is becoming more convenient, having your old clothes collected and receiving payment for it.
