Description

Each piece of art here is intricately hand-crafted from a unique assortment of materials and tools. Exquisitely detailed "trees of life" are cut out of 50-gallon drums, and wall vases are crafted out of recycled soda bottles. Covering places all over the Americas from Haiti to Guatemala, this unique store provides a collection of beautifully crafted unique pieces of art, and also helps the local people of those countries through fair trade. Owned and operated by Casey Riddell, she also spends her time traveling around finding these unique artifacts to bring back to Carmel. Come appreciate the beauty sprung from "useless" items, and hear the stories behind them. Bring home your very own one-of-a-kind piece of art.
