FRAME WORKS,COINS,ART AND NATURE


UPCYCLED COIN LEFTOVERS

As you may know The Coins Shop is based in Zanzibar Island.

A place with stunning beaches,corals,wild life,variety of sea creatures,

Thinking over the way the waste is held over here though it makes me want to contribute as much as I can to preserving this beatiful nature.

With this art I`m hoping to inspire other people to think over this issue and hopefully start a compain educating people how important that actually is and what will happen in future if no action is taken.

Please contact me if you are interested to participate in this in any way that you might like to.

We love creating new things all the time and never get bored with what we do.

Creativity keeps us going.

A friend of mine was making art from recyceld bottle caps and old sail from the local fishermen`s boats,I thought something similar could work out and I got inpired to try and finally put those pieces together on a nice coloured board.
