Exquisite Trash Fashions

Candy Carousel by Janet Lee & Lorraine Kwan is Upcycled and Unusual

The old saying that "one man's trash is another man's treasure" has never been truer when admiring the beautiful Candy Carousel by Janet Lee & Lorraine Kwan, which is made entirely out of plastic container food lids. Chromatic and beautiful, Candy Carousel by Janet Lee & Lorraine Kwan was created by the friends to help show the capabilities of products that are simply thrown away without a second thought.

The Candy Carousel by Janet Lee & Lorraine Kwan was exhibited at ReVision the Art of Recycling, which displays and promotes the work of those who upcycle the ordinary "trash" around them into something usable. As we can see, Candy Carousel by Janet Lee & Lorraine Kwan is an exercise in upcycling that we can all learn from to help reduce our impact on the environment and reduce our wastefulness.
