Rashmi sent in this link to her blog The Ochre Elephant featuring a great project where she recycled yogurt containers into tea light covers that also spelled out “Happy Diwali”.

Some artists will make art on anything and Boy Obsolete is no exception. He transforms one of the most un-recyclable things-a styrofoam cup-into art. What a perfect canvas! I will be sure to save my next bit of styrofoam and try my hand at working it into a bit of mixed media magic.
