NY Magazine has a new shop-a-matic that I love. It's all things snowboard or ski and I have always been a huge fan of the design on these items. I still own my gorgeous K2 skis that are white with an ombrea of aqua in the brillian K2 logo. I got those skis around 1984. Here are some amazing examples of sporting equipment as canvas.

On the Surface: materials

I'm so on board with reusing something to create a whole new item. I've made some tote bags out of fabric pieces that where left over but that's nothing uber creative. These boots are though. They're made from fused layers of polythylene bags that would have wound up in a land fill ( I hate those things!). Now they are a super cute pair of boots that are probably rain proof and will last a decade. Design student Camila Lambra is the brain behind the Dakka boot. via Style Sight.
