“What I’m doing with the cups is I’m up-cycling them. They’re not trash to me, I’m turning them into art objects, which the art gallery sells. I want people who come in here to think about that. What else in their life can they turn into art…that they would otherwise throw away or disregard?” -Gwyneth Leech
- Gwyneth is inpsired by choral music, especially Palestrina and Thomas Tallis, and the blog Laughing Squid
- DIY directions: Gwyneth saves her cups and draws on them with Faber Castell pens and water color. When she’s done with the design she submerges the cup in molten beeswax and damar resin which preserves the paper from oxygen, oil, and moisture.
- Here’s a link to the project she inspired in Singapore, Paint a Miracle
