"I love coconuts. The juice is delicious; I can't live without it," Yi Hai told us, "I started this workshop purely from my interests. Using coconut shells creating these many things are beyond my imaginations. When I first started, I only made simple bowl shaped items, and then the ideas just keeps coming. We also have a great creative environment too. We help each other getting the ideas flowing. Now we have over 200 different items made from simple coconut shells. "
Yi Hai lives in Hainan province in China, the tropical paradise of China. Yi started her coconut shell crafts 6 years ago, when she saw so many empty shells in a dumpster near a coconut drink stall. Her creations have been featured in many magazines and became the popular souvenir for tourists in Hainan.
