As of last week, there were some of these on display in the main hall of the Low Library at Columbia University in NYC. I do not know how long they will be there

fun art

It took me a second to put the two together, but that is really ingenious. What a great way to recycle! I really enjoyed browsing over the other picture you have up too, like the bear made out of gum--way cool! Thanks
