We have another spoiler for the May 2016 GlobeIn “Hydrate” box.
All May 2016 GlobeIn “Hydrate” themed boxes will contain:
1) In May all Artisan Box subscribers will have an option to receive a Brass Bottle Stopper from South Africa (Retail Value $10) instead of the regular GlobeIn Signature Basket.
Bottle stopper designs will vary. All May baskets will come in blue to compliment the Hydrate theme.
Our lovable African animal Bottle Stoppers will be the star at your next get together. Each bottle stopper is cast from zinc and electroplated with an antique brass finish by a fair trade casting company in Cape Town, South Africa.
Suggested use: Use in opened wine or olive oil bottles—or wherever it fits!
Measurements: 1.5″L, 1″W, 2″T
2) Upcycled Tote, Ghana (Retail $15).
Your tote is made by artisans from upcycled plastic bags in which Ghanaians receive their drinking water – keeping the bags off the streets. Both roomy and compact, it will become your go-to tote for going to yoga, beach, or farmers market!
Suggested use: Use as an eco-friendly shopping bag or as a roomy day bag.
3) Hand Blown Mexican Glass (Retail $15).
Few art forms will put you in as much awe at earth’s materials and their chemical processes as hand blown glass. What was once a hot and incoherent blob is now your cool and smooth new drinking vessel.
It takes a talented artisan indeed to form molten glass into elegant, coherent shapes. Many such artisans live in the city of Tonala? in the Mexican state of Jalisco, a handicraft hub, especially of pottery and glass.
Dedicated to preserving this artform, Cristaluc was established in 2001 and today employs 40 local artisans. The company provides its artisans a steady income and a supportive and inspiring space to practice their art. The process of making your new glass involved 8 to 14 glassmakers working as team.
Despite its hot and blob-like beginnings, we hope your vessel brings you (or your flowers) some cool, clarifying moments.
Suggested use: Drink out of it, or use as a vase.
Measurements: 5-1/4″ height.
