Giant sculptures made of discarded toys

Recently there was this news article on a rainbow being created with credit cards across the world. Now, an artist Robert Bradford has created gigantic sculptures from discarded toys. That is, my friends, recycling. This father of two saw so many of his two children’s’ toys thrown about that he thought, what the heck! Let’s put it to some use! And voila! You have you crazy, modern art sculpture. His first piece was an Alsatian dog, made four years ago completely from his children’s toys. The idea came about when he thought that the toys made a great combination of colours, shapes and textures all jumbled up which he then modified using glue, stick and screws. His largest works, ‘The Toy Soldier’ and ‘The Toy Angel’, took almost two months to make and are layers of thousands of models, figures and game parts meticulously chosen from car boot sales and thrift shops.

The creations cost up to £12,000 each, each containing up to 3,000 toys.
