The creativity of environmentally friendly artists has no limits when it comes to giving a new meaning to objects people often consider trash.

A green Florida-based designer, Nicholas Ruiz, the proud founder of Made in Forest Hills, has decided to revolutionize the concept of 'wearable art,' by introducing his spectacular collection of 11 bow ties, conceived using odd, recycled materials.

In order to further support his vision, Ruiz has announced his eagerness to design products on demand, working closely with his clients to obtain perfect results.

So far, one of the most beautiful and ingenious items unveiled by the artists is the bow tie made from old Legos that started gathering dusts in his home. Instead of simply throwing them out, the designer thought about reusing them in a highly creative manner.

He is keen on expanding his initiative, promoting awesome ethical art, while relying on other amazing products, manufactured using corks, aluminum cans, computer parts and even nylon stockings.

Since most A-list celebrities are going green, we shouldn't be surprised to spot the Lego masterpiece on the red carpet in the near future.
