   This is amazing stuff! Just goes to show that whatever we throw away - however small - has some intrinsic value somewhere else!

   I’m so glad you guys like this! It’s amazing what people can do when they really set their minds to using less and especially, discarding less. We should really look twice at what we’re throwing away each day and decide if that is really the best choice. Thanks everyone!!!

    This is great. I’ve been collecting individual caps, but recycling my repeats, now I’m packrating them all for a big project. Check out the cork head — a mask made of corks:

    or the topographical map of Minnesota, in corks!!

      I love your work Alan! It’s sort of like mosaic tiles except with bottle caps. I’d definitely recommend readers to take a peak at your work. I’d love to see more work in your portfolio. Also, if you’re looking for a supply of Smirnoff Ice caps, I’m your girl!!
