Happy Earth Day

Yesterday at Quiksilver, we celebrated Earth day with an art contest. The requirement of this art show was that all pieces must be made from recycled materials. It is always exciting when we have art inspired events because there are so many creative people who work there, so there was quite a bit of competition.

My art piece was made from old Quiksilver and Roxy lineguides. I have a shelf full of lineguides in my office that has been building up over the past 5+ years. See the photo to the right - as you can see, there are still a ton of them even with what I used for my project. They are kind of like a time capsule and are filled with images all of the clothes for that season and the artwork that is used for branding.


I made a 3-dimensional decoupaged bird out of these colorful pages of the past seasons. He sits on top of a nest that is made from wire hangers, yarn, rope, string, wire, elastic, and lace.

Check him out below and let me know what you think!

He is now for sale in my etsy shop, and proceeds will go to the Surfrider foundation.

Happy Earth Day! Please recycle and keep the beach clean!
