Recycled Denim Textile Art

I have seen a lot of pretty amazing things made out of scraps or trash, so many that it’s difficult to impress me anymore.  I did, however, draw an audible gasp when I first spotted this recycled denim textile art by Julie of Through Cat Eyes.  She used cut-up old pairs of jeans sewn to a fabric backing to create a transfixing starburst design.  Don’t you just want to reach through the computer screen and touch it?

The starburst is Julie’s second denim textile art piece; the first one she made is a more randomized piece using the same process.  I would also love to see this done in a chevron pattern!
