Etsy: Seaweed art is so much more beautiful than you'd think

I don't know what's come over me, but I have become completely obsessed with everything from Alga Net, an Etsy store that uses over 150 species of algae, seaweed and kelp to create delicate, ethereal, just really pretty works of art.

Check it out: I'm thinking these could be unique additions to all kinds of rooms, and, going along with what we talked about last week, they could also make great, affordable gifts. (Or, wait. Would it be weird to give someone framed seaweed as a present? I guess it depends on the friend. Some people I know would definitely dig this a lot.)
