Something that is junk to us, is often a treasure for somebody else. For example, Simon Brown (or thegentlemanfelter) collects old and worn out brushes that anyone else would think of as useless. But he turns them into meadows for foxes or tree branches for birds, and he fills these creations with curiosity and life.
We at Bright Side didn’t want you to miss out on his works, and here are 20 of them. You’re allowed to say, “Aww” or “Wow” loudly, it doesn’t matter if you are at work or out in public.
