Cup Art, Re-using Paper Cups

I decided to take a step in the direction of conservation, in the coffee cup area. I noticed that I drink a lot of coffee and every time a buy a cup, I’m contributing to the amount of waste being discarded. No only that but someone somewhere is cutting down a tree to make more cups that I can eventually throw away.
A week ago I managed to re-use the same cup for 4 consecutive days. While the cup was in my possession, I started doodling on it and ended up with a composition that included drawings, partial notes and coffee stains. I found it so astonishing and beautiful that I decided to start collecting these cups and see what comes of it.
This is the first cup of the series:
