"Often the idea starts from the waste or piece of wood that I find on the beach. For example, if I find ropes, I automatically think about the tentacles of an octopus or a jellyfish, or even the tuft of a bird. Brushes or pieces of plastic bottles become the fins of a fish!"

Get inspired to turn 'trash' into treasure by driftwood artist Viviana Satta (@legno_alla_deriva). From discarded bottles to rope, she scours the beach to find both ideas and art materials. 

As soon as inspiration strikes, Viviana wants to bring her vision to life and has to remind herself that creating takes time. Her followers and the earth are grateful for her commitment to upcycling waste and cleaning the ocean!
