From a distance, the work of Josh Stolberg might look like a simple piece of art, but a closer inspection reveals that the simplistic styling is all but a front; the work is made from bottle caps. Using a variety of bottle caps from different brands, Stolberg crafts ornately beautiful works of art that range in style from still life pieces for the home to wearable works that imitate the styling of superheroes.
When in college, Stolberg started collection bottle caps for no apparent reason. He began tinkering with them until he began to make artworks that he quickly started giving to loved ones as gifts. Fast forward to today and Stolberg is crafting almost anything you could imagine out of bottle caps.
