If you’re like this writer, you’ve collected dozens – if not hundreds – of wine corks over the months and years, but you’re not quite sure what to do with them.

Check out wine cork artist Beki Morris; she created the art you see at the top of the page, and Scott Gunderson and his wine cork portraits.  Amazing works.

For even more inspiration, take a look at Pinterest‘s cork art collection.

Now, the next time you open a bottle of 1919, or Riondo Rosso, hang on to the cork closures.  Then get creative.
