Hats out of upcycled materials

Thessaloniki, Greece

Nikoleta Tsikoti

Ola me Ilamo Nikoleta, I am an Architect and Upcycler, in my f/b page DIYUpcycledArtandDesign2015 there are photos of my designs out of materials that can be upcycled.
I am trying to raise awareness of sea waste & plastic pollution, the majority of which is non-degradable plastic, and to expand on everyday strategies to cut down the amount of plastic we use and throw away, and suggest alternatives & solutions.....exploring ideas of Reusing and Upcycling Plastic (bottles,bags,parts,packaging etc).

I adore hats and had recently an exhibition in Salonica with extravagant winter "headpieces" using fabric rests, broken jewels etc...
A hat is not only a head covering worn for protection against the elements, ceremonial reasons, religious reasons, safety, or as a fashion accessory for me: Everything so close to the face adapts the feelings and emotions of the person wearing it.

I speak German ,English, Italian ...e...un pocito Espanol! Adiós
