Michelle Brand

Thoughts that come to mind when looking at some of the beautiful designs of Michelle Brand are "Wow", "Amazing", "So delicate". These items made from recycled bottles are intriguing and well executed.

Michelle Brand is an Ecological Designer living in the UK. Michelle was determined to take garbage which is considered useless and turn it into something functional and beautiful at the same time. She was extremely successful in doing that by creating room dividers, lamps, and window shades.

Not only are these creations brilliant and dazzling, but they are also very functional. This is what Up Cycling is about. Turning something useless into something you can hold on to for a lifetime.

Green Spray Paint? And not just the color.

Whether you're looking to paint a chair or paint a wall, spray paint has been quite questionable when it comes to it's effects on the environment and health. Well, now there is an American made spray paint that claims to be safer than others for the environment.

OK, so maybe this paint is mostly intended for the serious artist with claims of no drips, bright and vibrant colors, and can be used indoors or outdoors. This is a fabulous step towards the right direction and it's nice to know that some manufacturers are just as concerned as we are about our health and the environment. In comparison to some of the other popular brands out there that may not be so Eco friendly, Evolve is affordable while bringing you just as good results. A set of 12 cans with the most popular colors can be purchased for $48 on eBay.
