Old television sets may not seem an obvious source of material for dressmaking and millinery, but Alison Bailey Smith, who has lived in Australia, Canada, San Francisco and England uses colorful recycled wire from electrical appliances as the basis for much of her work, which includes boxes, jewelry, lampshades, and clothing.

Alison loves to organize workshops to show everyone how to turn old waste wire – mostly from old televisions – into FashionArt and this is amazing!

Now enjoy to do the same joning the “Art for a digital world” contest on Shicon.com
Good luck every one.

Sorry, this is not mosaic: this is strikingly clever, extremely well done and just plain delightful. This is a clever re-use idea like making sheep using old phones. And have a look at the legs…

They are Jean-Luc Cornec’s telephone sheep from the Museum of Telecommunication in Frankfurt .

This is more than amazing.

Last Spring, Eco-Design Fair teamed up with Regenersis – The UK’s biggest mobile phone recycling company, to run a design competition during Love London Green Festival 2009. Designers were invited to create an original and innovative product suitable for any sort of domestic use; from a piece of jewellery to an item of furniture, using old mobile handsets as raw material.

Amazing ideas and designs join the competition and finally:
First Prize goes to Claire Potter for Conversation Chair 

Runners up:

Anna Kompaniets for Hat and Georgie Tym for Handbag.
