Plastic Seconds creates a wall for Supermarket Sarah

Maria Papadimitriou is the brains behind sustainable jewellery brand Plastic Seconds, creating wonderful bold pieces out of other people's rubbish. So very clever.

It's no secret that I am a big fan of Maria Papadimitriou's work. Not only does she produce many wonderful collaged illustrations for Amelia's Magazine but she also creates the most brilliant recycled jewellery under the Plastic Seconds moniker. It's not only bold and clever but also fully sustainable, so I am really happy that people are starting to take notice. Right now she has a wall with Supermarket Sarah, where you can buy some beautiful bespoke pieces. I urge you to check it out.
