Upcycled tires
Times and Seasons eco ideas has some of the best upcycled tire reinventions I've seen. Chairs, ottomans, swings and even magazine racks. In addition to reclaiming used resources and remaking them, they also provide environmental education workshops for teens and adults. Bringing ecological awareness and providing solutions for sustainability are core ideals of the man behind it all—Daniel Arenas Richieri.

Birthday coming up in a few months. Hint. Hint. Check out her site for a full listing of available original oils or prints.
