Inspired by the native wildlife in his hometown in rural West Wales, artist and animal lover J. K. Brown creates incredibly detailed animal sculptures from fragments of discarded metal (talk about creative recycling). He patiently reassembles these pieces into wonderful metal models of birds, butterflies, horses and even dragons! The process, he says, is a calming antidote to the madness of endless consumption. Check out some of his work below.

2. Holly Blue Butterflies
