My friend Tovi caught these photos of a woman and her purse made from discarded U-Passes.
We're thinking she asked her friends at the end of the school year to donate their used U-Passes. But I wonder how she made the purse?
UPDATE: As noted in comments below, the purse-maker is Eliza, and she does use duct tape for her creations.

They're all DePaul U-Passes.

I saw this gal last week on the El going north on the red line. I told the an artist at the Glenwood fest last weekend about her.
How did she get all those student u passes?

Her name is Eliza and she makes and sells these purses! She'll make them out of whatever you want her to make them out of :)

Hey, that's me! Actually they're *not* all from DePaul, there's one from Harold Washington just to throw things off a bit. It's made out of U-Passes, clear packing tape, and duct tape. You can see more pictures on Myspace and I also recently started selling them at Modwerk --http://www.modwerk.com/. Allie, thanks for spotting me on here! :)

I saw her on the El platform over the weekend. I absolutely loved it! The purse caught my eye immediately.
