Make: Online : Animals made from e-waste are still your best friend

Animals made from e-waste are still your best friend

Sculptor Brenda Guyton does not believe there is any such thing as "digital garbage". Guyton makes detailed creatures out of outdated computer hardware ranging from motherboards to ram chips. This little guy is called "K-9" and actually measures up to 3 feet tall, which is probably bigger than most pooches, digital or not. Check out all of her "animals" at the links below.

Fantastic, but...

Here's hoping she uses some protection for herself when she cuts these things up. Lots o' heavy metals and other poisons bound up in those components.

This little guy is called K-9 because it is a variation on Dr. Who's dog, K-9.
