Making things into other things

Yesterday was fun and inspiring.  It was the last day of my parents' visit to Austin, and I took them to some of my favorite places.  There was lots of repurposed, upcycled beauty to be found.

The people at the Natural Gardener have turned mulch and rope into a giant guitar.

The guy at the Cathedral of Junk has turned trash into a giant, sprawling, kooky treasure.  (Stay tuned; this place will get its own picture-heavy post next week!)

And the main attraction for me at the Texican Cafe is the sour cream enchiladas, but they also have a great mosaic.
