We need a LOVE button here. Brilliant and inspiring. Happy Earth Day!!!
I really admire artists in general, but I especially admire artists who work with garbage/recycling material. So cool!
A true inspiration.
Fun stuff!
Lovely 💖👏🏼👏🏼🦄
UNBELIEVABLE! She really turns shit into gold! So beautiful, so meaningful, so creative. I love that woman and her work! 🎉❤🌞
❤
Absolutely love this!
The only issue is that cement is a tremendous green house gas emitter, so it would be great if it could be replaced by a more environmentally harmless substance. Of course there’s a very small amount being used for these art projects.
Sensational!!! You are a fabulous artist and thanks for being such a conceptual recycler!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
As a textile artist, this video has truly inspired me.
I could be mistaken, but I think I saw this video at least 3 years ago, a college class????
It’s such a beautiful art installation that you’ll see how quickly the kids stop & get off their bikes!! How lucky for everyone who comes across it!!!
I am charmed that her name is the same as a famous sculptor, Alexander Calder. It guides her path ❤
You do beautiful work!
Wonderful work. Time frame to complete once upon a time project.❤
Wow, I love Crafts in America. There haven't been any new shows lately. But this 1 I haven't seen, I assume it's new. This is absolutely beautiful and a wonderful idea. I wish I had this kind of talent 2 recycle my garbage.
We premiere two new episodes a year on PBS but you can watch all our episodes and videos on UA-cam anytime :)
Beautiful work.
WOW!
You are just.... wow... incredible... an idol for many, safe Mother Earth, God bless your talent, wonderful THANK YOU
Wow! Love it! 😍🇸🇪
Nice nod to Thomas Dambo and his giant trolls made from pallet wood. He also made many fanciful sculptures from plastic trash as part of large, festive event spaces in his native Denmark. I love Calder's work!
Il cavallo è eccezionale 👍
wunderschön , phantastische Idee, i love craft in America
Just incredible, thank you.
I am also an artist who uses waste to create. Unfortunately recycling is not the answer. The only way to end plastic waste is to stop creating it or greatly reduce it at the manufacturing level.
Seeing you teaching the children and how attentive they are gave me chills. This is beyond wonderful, thank you for sharing your gifts.
Wonderful, creative and meaningful!
Fabolous!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely wonderful 🦄

Perfect!
The mushrooms!
This of course seems all well and good. With everything she makes, I can imagine her pieces eventually ending up in the “trash” some where at some time. In my humble opinion, you are decorating a beautiful naturally made forest with man made trash, whether you think you are recycling or not. Mardi Gras beads in a tree? No.
That unicorn is beautiful but it has no neck…
