So Bullpen got this sample in the mail – and it’s crazy!  It’s actually hanging on my office wall as I type.  One of our manufacturers now makes a frame – yes, just a normal picture frame – that is made out of recycled sunflower hulls! I kid you not!  It even smells like them!

Recycled Frame Made Out of Sunflower Hulls

The manufacturer calls it “Dakota Burl.”  Apparently that is supposed to be more seductive than “mashed up seeds.” ; )  I like it, though!  The patterning does resemble burled wood.  It’s hanging on my wall due to the sheer novelty. =)

The same manufacturer has another really cool item – a set of coffeetable coasters made from “biocomposite” – which is nothing more than recycled newspapers!

They’re elegant and mod – they totally remind me of a San Francisco loft.
