San Francisco Recycled Paper Bowl by Picapicadesign

Picapicadesign created this San Francisco Recycled Paper Bowl by hand molding it from paper pulp made from recycled paper grocery bags. An old map of San Francisco is on the interior of the bowl.

The bowl's 8 inches in diameter and stands 2.5 inches tall. The paper's has been sealed with acrylic varnish so it is sturdy but still very lightweight.

Beautiful just as art in itself, or as a nice gift. Or perhaps to hold mail...or...

$20 on Etsy.
