Here’s one for the guys – the ‘hers’ necklace (above). Express the depth and of your relationship by wearing this handmade, artisan necklace created from a substantial bar of recycled sterling silver and dangled from an authentic piece of black Greek leather. Designed and made by thebadgirl. (more…)

Rich Morrison (above, R) is an international surf artist known for his experimental art and an appreciation for nature.

Morrison’s latest piece is a functional surfboard made from 72 beer cans. Rich was able to construct this unique board with the aid and expertise of surfboard maker Gary Seagraves.

Rich’s love for the environment (and maybe, beer) inspired the use of recyclables to create this tasteful ride.

The beer cans are coated in polyurethane and epoxy to provide a sturdy base for the board.

It’s part of Morrison’s Enviro Surf Art Series, and will be tested in the ocean very soon. Surf on over to the Enviro Surf Art Series on Facebook.
