Amazing upcycled art by Susan Stockwell.

A stunning public art installation, "Quiltsurround" by sculptor and University of Memphis professor, Greely Myatt. The large scale quilts are made from 700 decommissioned street signs and hide the unsightly heating and air conditioning units on the side of City Hall.

An artist has created a host of intricate sculptures using just spare computer parts. Steven Rodrig, 48, spent a year perfecting his technique, using hand tools to shape the solid green circuit boards and piece them together. He has now created everything from spiders, flies, turtles to a toilet, pair of shoes and even a bra.

The gate outside Oakland, Calif. artist Vinnie Flores' studio/workshop incorporates a horseshoe, spark plugs and a wrench.
