Recycled Art Bazaar 1
In Senegal, Mali, Kenya and other countries in Africa, resourceful people have long excelled at fashioning toys from the available materials - tin cans, wire and scrap rubber and plastic that we would discard as trash. Continually searching the world for more such innovations, Indigoarts also offers cars, planes, purses and frames from Vietnam, tin ornaments from Mexico, papier-mache bowls from South Africa and cars and trucks from Cuba!

This tin boat runs on the steam produced by a small candle placed in the holder. It reminds me of those old movies you see where a kid in Central Park is playing with a beautiful wooden sailboat he bought at a dime store, and instead of thinking about whether George Peppard is about to get killed by a private dick over his illicit affair with the highly underrated Patricia Neal, you're thinking - ten cents? For that? That thing is awesome! Why don't they make those anymore?
