Recycle and Repurpose artist Angela Mosera

By Rita Cook

For 35-year-old Dallas recycle artist Angela Mosera the art she creates from antique broken watches and a medley of other recycled items is her way to give back.  Retooling the watch pieces into necklaces, earrings and even cuff-links, she also makes wine charm sets out of scrabble pieces and purses out of old wooden boxes.

Making kitchen composting easier

Inspiration leads to plastic block houses

Harvey Lacey has a plan.

These plastic blocks can then be use to build houses.
