Recycled bottles make beautiful drinking glasses.

by

Dharma Designs Blog introduces us to the blown and fused glass art of nickpaul on Etsy.  They tell the story of how they ‘upcycle’ bottles into drinking glasses that are pure glass art.

Last year I picked up glasses similar from an artist on the street in Jerome, AZ.  Four beautiful cobalt blue glasses.  I ordered 4 more but, alas, never heard back.  Now I know where to go to complete my set.  These kinds of glasses are fun too because you can mix and match and although no two are ever exactly the same, the fit together perfectly!
