An unusual flock


If you look closely you'll see that these sheep are made entirely of old recycled telephones. I love it when folks find a second use for an otherwise outdated item. 

These are the creation of Jean Luc Cornec's and were first featured at the Museum fur Kommunikation in Frankfurt, Germany in 2006. 
The ability to see materials outside of their traditional roles is key to reducing the mass of products our society currently consumes. It assists in helping people make the connection of what happens at the end of a products use. Rather than dispose of it, look for ways to reuse it or in the best of circumstances anticipate it's second use upon design. This work did a good job of the former. What a creative mind!
