For years, I collected wine corks, always planning to create something fantastic. My mom even got in on the game at one point, attempting to make bath mats. While we likely missed the mark on that market frenzy, Scott Gundersen has transformed the art of collecting corks. He creates sustainable art, made out of old corks, in the most brush-stroke-genius kind of way.

I discovered Gundersen here, in awe of the pop meets folk art conception. The piece above was made with 3,842 wine corks, oh my! For more sustainable design reporting, check out Tree Hugger.
