I do quite a bit of indoor gardening. This would that notion to the extreme, plus decor. These hand blown glass jars do not include the plants that are shown in the photo. You have to add water and float gardenias to create the same effect. Then you will in essence have living art. (via burkedecor.com)

RECYCLED PENDULUM WALL CLOCK

First to recommend

Description

I hate to admit it, but the first thing that drew me to this clock were its aesthetics, not the fact that it was made from recycled materials. However, that is a definite bonus and excellent selling point. I have always been fascinated by "found objects", and this is an awesome use of recycled bike parts. If only I were that mechanical and enterprising. (via UncommonGoods)

An eco-friendly way to help out the birds in your neighborhood. You can recycle a 2-liter bottle and make a bird feeder. Durable cast zinc adapter can be hung or mounted on a pole or branch.

Recycled Circuit Board Composition Notebook

First to recommend

Description

Rather original use of what would have no doubt ended up in a landfill somewhere. Pretty utilitarian and aesthetically pleasing also. Comes in two other colors as well. I love notebooks, and this one is definitely on my wish list. (via fractalspin.com)

Liu Tray by iBride

First to recommend

Description

A beautiful tray in form and design. There is no way I would put a thing on it, as suggested on the web page. To me it's art...wall decor. I can picture three of them in a row. Perhaps not, they're big..."16 X 16". I wonder if Warhol had anything to do with that idea.

"Ibride, pronounced "e-breed," is created by a French family in the south of France. The archival imagery is inspired by their travels as well as their local environment. The word 'ibride' itself is a play on words meaning 'hybrid', and the pieces combine a dual purpose of serving as sturdy and functional trays, but more often they are used as decorative art to accent home decor.

Through magical imagery and intricate lattice work, iBride simultaneously creates a modern and yet nostalgic feeling. Each tray is constructed using a turn-of-the-century process. The construction process uses a high-pressure laminate with a pre-recycled wood core. The result is a functional tray that is more often used as an elegant wall hanging. Trays using these materials can be found in restaurants and cafes throughout Europe." (via burkedecor.com)

Anatomical Heart Soap by artistamuerta

First to recommend

Description

My hands would never feel clean again if I used this soap... It's pretty cool looking thought, I must say. From artistamuerta, vegan, glycerine soap encases a black soap anatomical heart with red soap paint. Scary! The heart is protected in the clear soap so will retain its goreyness no matter how many times you try to wash the blood off your hands. It is lightly scented with high quality fragrance oil in my custom blend of rose, violet, tayberry and teakwood - a very clean, lovely scent. Perfect for everyday in our house, not just Halloween. It's a good sized bar, about 2.5 by 4 inches. (via etsy.com)
