Nobody knows what to do exactly with old mattresses, except maybe Louise Riley. She's found a way to adorn mattresses with amazing tapestry and turning in a nice profit in the process. The cover image of this gallery, featuring a woman lying down on half a mattress, sold for $5,500.
What I'm most impressed with in these Louise Riley works of art is her masterful ability to capture the human form, defining value beautifully with unique color combinations of thread.
Implications - As technology continues to advance and save people time, consumers have much more leisure time and are spending it pursuing artistic endeavors. Corporations looking to satiate consumer demand for the arts may consider selling products with fine arts graphics on it.
