After having learned a lot of things on this magnificent site, it is high time for me to share my experience and our research on exclusive and unique pieces in the world. Welcome to MADAGASCAR, the island of treasures and exclusive riches!
All raw materials are collected by me

In COCONUT FIBER
I only work on dead coconut trees or those that threaten homes.
The enemy of the coconut trees is the Big Rhinoceros SCARAB which will eat the roots of the tree and little by little the COCONUT TREE will lean and fall.

touch nature as little as possible while transforming treasures, welcome to the world of UP CYCLING

The fibers are scraped and separated and sorted by particle size

Nothing is lost, we win a flower pot by recovering the fibers!!! we are going to make an excellent Orchid pot because the coconut tree retains water for a very long time

Beautifully made. I have great admiration for your creativity. And don't take this personal.
Unfortunately this is not my taste. I do not like the shape and the material used.

Brilliant idea.......I realize the tree is a member of the grass family, I had no idea the fibers could be separated and dyed like that. These fibers when dyed certainly make fabulous looking pens.

Beautiful work. What kind of dye are you using?
sorry for the delay to answer tyou I was traveling
i m using water dye .
