Creative Upcycler Creates an Outfit From Recycled Materials

Artist Mary Anne Enriquez created this amazing jacket with three accessories to enter into an art contest called the "Flashy Trashion Show" a few years back.
The show required that each submission be made entirely out of recycled or upcycled materials.
She used a variety of materials, but the bulk of her project was created out of plastic shopping bags.
Turns out, it was one of the best entries and Mary walked away with a new iPad.

There's no way this could have been easy!
