Help Remedies creates soothing package designs for medication. From Creative Review: “Their packets of pills and plasters not only look great but are also made of 100% recycled paper pulp. And at $6 for 12 headache pills (or 8 plasters), that’s not much more than most of the more well-known brands, so these are no vanity purchase. Plus you’ll get to look just that little bit cooler when you’re ill.” Also be sure to check out the ”help, I’m bored” page.

”These earrings are unique and one-of-a-kind. They are made from 100% post-consumer recycled skateboard. Skateboards are made of 7 plys of maple wood, some plys are natural and some are coloured. After designing, cutting and sanding part of the skateboard to create these earrings, we then sealed them with a non-toxic clear gloss. Priced at 30.00 USD.” (via DIYthing at Stylehive)

Stuart Haygarth describes his work: “The original Tide chandelier is part of a larger body of work based on the collection of ‘man made’ debris washed up on a specific stretch of Kent coastline. I have been collecting material over many years and the work is still in progress...The Tide chandelier is created from clear and translucent objects, primarily made of plastic. Each object is different in shape and form, yet they come together to produce one sphere. The sphere is an analogy for the moon which effects the tides which in turn wash up the debris.” Thanks to Stylehiver, bellajewels, for bookmarking the blog that led to the work of Stuart Haygarth.
