Taiga village Kamarchaga That in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, is now known far abroad, and all thanks to its talented creative residents.

Today, guests from all over the country come to her dwelling, and photographs of an unusual home scattered around the Internet.
And everything began with a simple - Olga Kostina was a passionate collector, and collected beautiful bright caps from bottles. When an indecent amount was gathered, then the question arose where to give it good. Then the pensioner and thought that it was a pity that throw out a collection, so why not let her in business, and not to build a canvas-mosaic to decorate your yard. Thus, the collection of plastic covers turned into large-scale tapestries and in this form moved to the walls and the roof of the wooden village house.

Since plastic covers used to decorate the facade of Olga Kostin, and plastic is considered one of the main enemies of the ecology, its art project can be considered "green" and aimed at combating environmental pollution. I suppose the idea of a Russian pensioner with fire supported foreign artists and the installation masters, which from year to year speak with their eco-projects on the same topic. However, what does Olga Kostina herself thinks about this, unknown.
