Environmentally friendly artists are pushing recycling strategies to a whole other level, by incorporating old items into beautiful, one-of-a-kind masterpieces.

While some of them gather dust in museums, other are cleverly commercialized on the market, attracting the admiration of millions of eco-conscious buyers and generating profit.

A waste-to-cash system seems like a good idea, especially when it is developed by a creative artist like Augustina Woodgate, launching her colorful collection of Skin Rugs, based on old, discarded stuffed animals.

Her method could become a source of inspiration for DIY projects, since most of the people are fond of their toy animals and would be eager to give them a new meaning, instead of simply throwing them out.

It's a great way of keeping memories intact, while also recycling and minimizing the amount of waste generated by homeowners.
