One person\u2019s trash can definitely be another person\u2019s treasure. One local artist is turning bottle caps, broken glass, and scraps into jewelry that amazes everyone. It\u2019s sustainable, creative, and just plain \u2014 cool.<\/p>\n
Meet Marie-Louise, a self-taught artist from Fort Lauderdale. She\u2019s the creative mind behind \u201cGarbage Glam Art,\u201d \u2014 where trash gets a makeover.<\/p>\n
Marie-Louise Duvert: \u201cGarbage Glam Art, which by the way, I am married to that name. I create jewelry and art out of garbage, literally. I\u2019ve displayed a lot of my pieces, that you know are made of garbage; most of them are made of cardboard, plastic, denim, tins, and then I add beautiful beads, like you know, real crystals.\u201d<\/p>\n
From old cans to shattered plates, her pieces make it wearable, proving beauty really is in the eye of the re-user.<\/p>\n
You can find Marie\u2019s jewelry pieces on her Instagram page at \u201cGarbage Glam Art.\u201d<\/p>\n
