Upcycling and Reusable items
These are made from commercial crab pot line that is found on the beach and from fisherman here in Westport Washington. All of this line is deemed unusable for fishing and is retired. Most of the line ends up in the landfill. Many other artist along with myself have tried to reduce the amount going to landfill by making these items. Thank you for your purchase and continued support to cleaning up our beaches and reducing the amount we put in landfills.
These dog toys are made from a Monkeys fist knot. This is a traditional knot used in Martime settings. Traditionally these knots would have put lead balls or rocks in order to have more weight behind them. These dog toys are made with a reused tennis ball that is retired from tennis courts, for enrichment once the dogs are able to get the ball out. The long handle is helpful for playing tug-a-war or useful for throwing the ball part far for fetch.
Please always supervise dogs when playing with any toys.
