Discard a button, bead, or other bauble, and Larry Fuente, of Mendocino, California, may use it in his eclectic creations that sell for thousands of dollars. Scouring dumps, beaches, junk shops, and surplus stores, he created a sculpture of shoe soles, a sailfish of knives and a sword, a refrigerator covered with ceramic tiles, a lamp made from a bomb casing, and a female figure made up of dolls’ heads, bands of beads, a deer-antler tiara, and porcelain swan wings. Picture, National Geographic Society.
