Merle Davis of Topsi Designs Upcycling searches Op shops, garage sales and markets for natural fibre jackets,shirts etc. that may never sell and end in landfill. These are then washed, dyed, printed and appliqued with other discarded fabrics, laces, doileys etc into a unique, wearable art piece. "Unwanted becomes Wanted again!"
