JUNKYARD CRITTER - BULLDOG - VIETNAM
FAIR TRADE PRODUCT
The product of the imagination and ingenuity of a Vietnamese engineer turned artisan! In his small, home-based business, salvaged metals are cleaned and crafted , wherein he designs whimsical figures with a practical price.
"Reuse is even better than Recycling" --- here are some great examples.
Vietnamese traditions value the reuse of materials. There's a large second-hand market. For example, near post offices are vendors who use previously used cardboard boxes to make a box for you of whatever size you need for mailing at the post office.
You will find these great as gifts - some are pen holders, photo/recipe holders, tea light holders. You will even find them designed as wind chimes!
