Vase Design. Olivia Torres

This wall hanging vase made out of Recycled/Reclaimed materials appeals to the minimalist with a focus on the material of the work, and to the Do it yourself-er since the materials are all easily accessible. The industrial minimal design utilizes reclaimed wood (2x4), metal, gate latches, rail road spikes garden hose and bottles. Openings are cut into the to fit bottles under the lip (3.5") and rubber rings/gaskets are needed to secure garden hose under screw top (3"). Hardware of L Bar, hinge and gate latches should all come from a reclaimed source. Rail road spikes taken only from abandoned tracks. Reclaimed wood from building demos. Garden hose and bottles easily accessible reused materials. No paint: materials stay in natural conditions. 3.5" opening standard for bottles: any bottle can be used - as long as it was reclaimed. Hardware (screws) to secure vase to wall, to install hinge and gate latch should be purchased.
