BIC pen's aren't something we see repurposed very often (besides the Bic Cutlery), but this ball point pen turned vase is rather impressive. This vase was made from an ordinary BIC pen heated to the point where the plastic becomes malleable. It is then hand blown in the same fashion as glass to produce a little bubble for the water/base of the vase...

Maybe it's just because I've lived in DC for 6 years, but this thing reminds me of the pens people use to smoke crack & then discard. Just sayin'.
I also was going to say it looks like a crack pipe.
Crack pipe was the first thing I thought too.
$22.00!!! *gasp*
I just thought oh beautiful! And I used to live in Brixton in London!!!

Yep, definitely looks like a crack pipe.
God, I hope the students at my old high school (which still has a crackhead problem) don't see that picture and start getting ideas...
I thought it was cute. Too bad now that they mentioned it, it really does look like a pipe.
