  1. Love this work! I’ve been wondering how to make use of those buggers. Collecting them from neighbors – brilliant! How did you connect them?

    What inspired you to do this? How long did it take to collect the lids? I am also trying to collect lids for an art piece.

    • It all starts from our own home and surroundings, I treat everything including the one useless as equally valuable resource. I keep collecting all the junk around me all the time. These bottle tops were collected for couple of years. Would love to see it once it is finished.
