Excuse me, am in heaven. Does it get more beautiful? No. Could it be more ecological? Never. Could it be more fun? Absolutely not! This collection, sometimes known as "trash art", or "flip flop art", is made in Africa from recycled flip flops and rubber products. They create a large block, then hand carve each animal. They are lightweight, impossibly fun, and truly chic as a decorative item. Please keep them away from the puppy of the house as he might be tempted to chew on it.
