Ingrid Goldbloom Bloch sees beauty in recyclables: she creates some truly awesome bustiers, garters, and underpants from recycled soda cans and hardware! When she said "trashy lingerie" who'd knew that it's truly made from trash ... oops, that's recyclables to all you enviro-nuts! ;)

Thanks for noticing my art!
1) No they are not meant to be worn (unless really drunk but that is for another day!)
2) They were inspired by a walk on the beach and I was picking up all kinds of trash (tampon applicators, cig packs, soda cans etc) I decided to make a bathingsuit (show only) called "A day at the beach" with all the stuff I found. Anyway that morphed into an entire "Trashy Lingerie" series.
I also make other stuff using hardware store materials and recycled materials.

I can easily imagine it would be hard to go about your day and try to keep a silly grin off of your face. :D I had a hard time not cracking up or doing double takes each time I had to pick up an item that I couldn't believe folks would wear or buy.
