Jennifer McGahan of Sidney, Mont., devotes herself to finding new uses for items that people throw out.
With scraps of fabric, plastic, wallpaper samples and other used items, McGahan has created purses, children's clothing, satchels, notebooks, baskets, bracelets and more.
McGahan's philosophy is personnified in a decorated mannequin that she keeps in her apartment: the "Goddess of Urban Trash," which McGahan says is a rival of "Mother Earth."
She says, "You can make anything out of anything."
