Simply Garbage
POSTED BY COMMENT 7

My husband and I are guilty of once having made a light from a cheesegrater, so it’s no wonder that I found Garbage to be a huge amount of fun. This French site wittily documents things made by Gilles Eichenbaum, and the byline says it all: Vos poubelles ont du talent! (your trash has talent!). I’ve picked out a couple of my favourites , but why not dive into the Garbage yourself this weekend, and see what tickles your fancy.
