Look what I've found on The Alternative Consumer site: beautiful luminaries made from 100% recycled cans.

The designer, John T., designs things from recycled and repurposed materials. He explains in his blog, Art Buzz:

"(...) using recycled and/or reused materials in my work is really important to me. The problem with making stuff is that you're making stuff. I feel that if I am going to fill the world with more things, then it is my responsibility to minimize my environmental impact. Most everything I make incorporates some percentage of recycled content. I also design for permanence and try to use the most ecologically sustainable paints, coats, etc. The CANterns are a great way to Reuse material with minimal impact to the environment."

And the CANterns (luminaries) are so beautiful! John says people love them because:

- 100% recycled content.
- Hand made, signed by the artist.
- Holes in the base allow water to drain.
- Safe for use indoors or out.
- Provide a great way to mark paths at night.
- When lit, the luminaries project cool flickering images.
