Trash to Treasure

I found Yuken Teruya's site thanks to the Yahoo! home page. Teruya creates meticulously crafted pieces out of everyday objects: fast food bags, paper towel rolls, newspapers, pizza boxes.

His work is absolutely amazing. It's so detailed and beautiful, that you can easily forget that these pieces are crafted from what is essentially garbage. This is right up my alley, though my art still has a ways to go before it looks as stunning as these.
