Don’t throw anything out!

Definitely don’t ever throw out your old phones. Or any of the parts. Who knew that you could make something this cute from the parts?
My friend Shirley sent me these pictures. They supposedly come from the Museum for Communication in Frankfort, Germany. I can not verify that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s right. There are four of these museums in Germany, all linked from a central website (link above).
Makes me want to go to the nearest thrift shop and start stocking up on broken phones!
I started wondering who else was out there using phones as an art medium. Look what I found:
5,000 cell phones turned into a work of art
Cell Phone Disco: creating a digital art installation by cell phone
Telephone art: a collection of cartoon and clip art, just in case you don’t really want to work with the real thing 
Telephone Teca: gorgeous reproduction antique phones
