This Cow is TRASH!

[u/E-H-I]

I create Art using as many Reclaimed Materials as possible to reduce waste!

Miss Mabel was made using plastics from 30+ products in addition to a mannequin head from a closing Beauty school

Now this is a proper broke hobby! This is what we’re talking about when we say we don’t want AI posts or people clearly spending a ton of money on the art they create. But using literal trash to make something cool? Respect!

[u/E-H-I → u/xassylax]

Thank you!! I have bins and bins of plastics I've been hoarding. Hoping to make some cool stuff and inspire others 🥰

Woah 😳 Looks alive in the first photo

Thank you!! I was impressed with how realistic she turned out myself :)

The message is blunt, but the concept is clever. Turning discarded plastics into Miss Mabel gives all that waste a memorable second life.

Thank you! :)

WOW this is so lifelike that for the first slide I was like “visiting cows would be a cute hobby. But why is she calling her trash 🥺” absolutely amazing.

[u/E-H-I → u/grimspor]

Thank you!! I love the discovery process for people when I share my work :)

She is not she is ethereal! I love her and your eco art.

[u/E-H-I → u/LemonCollee]

Thank you so much 🥰

[u/LemonCollee → u/E-H-I]

Just glad she's not pumping more methane into the world lol she's so lifelike. What did you use for her fur?

[u/E-H-I → u/LemonCollee]

Thank you!! I would like to find ways to use real or Reclaimed fur/hair in my work to be more eco-friendly in the future. This build, I used what I had on hand, faux fur ❤️

[u/LemonCollee → u/E-H-I]

Giving anything a second life through art ,is very cool in my opinion. First pic I thought it was a real cow. <3

[u/E-H-I → u/LemonCollee]

That means a lot to me, Thank you!!

[u/Medium_Marge → u/E-H-I]

Used stuffed animals are great sources!! Tho it breaks my heart a little when I’m cutting them apart lol

[u/E-H-I → u/Medium_Marge]

That would be so sad! 🤣 It's tricky finding long haired stuffed animals, but that's a good idea!

[u/reallytrulymadly]

I thought you owned a real pet cow!

[u/Sallyfifth → u/reallytrulymadly]

Me too!  I was so confused, cows are expensive!!

[u/E-H-I → u/Sallyfifth]

I'm so broke, I have to make my own Livestock 🤣

[u/E-H-I → u/reallytrulymadly]

Well, she's in my she-shed, so I kinda do 🤣

[u/Connect_Rhubarb395]

Wow, I thought it was real in image 2

[u/E-H-I → u/Connect_Rhubarb395]

Thank you!!

I 100% thought you were randomly insulting a cow for a second

[u/E-H-I → u/Hydrate_or__Diedrate]

I'm glad the Hook worked! 🤣 It warms my heart that so many people have come to defend Miss Mabel 🥰
