recycled metal art

Those relaxing days at the beach can quickly become dangerous when the waves trap people in their waters. Fortunately, some fearless souls are there to save the day and secure the citizens from the ocean. Honoring those brave guardians of the sea, Peruvian artist Miguel Mejia handcrafts this recycled metal statuette depicting a lifeguard on another mission at sea.

Little red and black hues add a chic aura to this eco-friendly creation by Maria Isabel Ramos. The Guatemalan artisan uses recycled metalized wrappers to create the handwoven structure of this cosmetic bag, finishing it with a handy zipper closure. Furthermore, the design comes with a cotton lining and an interior pocket.
