Artists in Austin, Texas are taking repurposing from the land to a whole new level. They are turning invasive, annoying, and sometimes dangerous tumbleweeds into gorgeous and functional works of art.&nbsp; Behold the tumbleweed chandelier.&nbsp;The tumbleweeds are collected wildly in the spring. They are next left to thoroughly dry. After they are sprayed with a varnish and a fire retardant. Finally, they are transformed with lights into unusual and one of a kind chandeliers. The end result is a wonderful and magical harnessing of the botanical beauty of the wild west.&nbsp;#tumbleweed #chandelier #Texas #Austin #botanical #lights #homedecor #unusuallights
