tropical love in bottles

Tropical flowers and leaves my favourite.Some tropicals in bottles on the window sills at home evoke the coolness at home during this summer...

all bottles are recycled,some are very very old kissan squash botles,some are old reagent bottles,some amber coloured reagent bottles and some wine bottles..

Green the Gap

Green the Gap set up by the NGO Swecha in 2008 in Delhi spreads  awareness  for reuse and recycle.I was amazed seeing their range of well designed products .They give good livelihood opportunities for people in the textiles sector.They say they hope to change attitudes of people how they think.They make consumers think about the choices we have to make in our shopping habits.

The Green Gap workshop is in Malviya NAgar,South Delhi.The have employed tailors on a full time basis,who transform old tyres,tetra packs,waste cloths,waste leather and other materials into new products.Their small team makes excellent quality materials.
