# Crawling Craft Tools Christopher Locke Creates Eight Legged Scissors By Peter Vallas | Published 2011-01-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christopher-locke References: [whokilledbambi](http://www.whokilledbambi.co.uk/2011/01/scissor-spiders-by-christopher-locke/) & [heartlessmachine](http://heartlessmachine.com/artwork/172600_Barber_Scissor_Spider.html) Christopher Locke is an amazing designer with an extensive sense of imagination. The 'Scissor Spiders' are his most recent creation. Combining parts used only from barber scissors, Christopher Locke creates these arachnid appliances by welding, molding and cutting with his own hands. Unfortunately, Christopher Locke's creation was lost when he wasn't allowed to cross through airport security. Regardless, this metal spider is still awesome. **Implications** - Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about the health of the environment and any product that serves to remind individuals of these surroundings helps raise these pressing issues. Companies would be wise to consider how their products can either provide more eco-friendly options or raise awareness about these growing problems. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Customization](https://www.trendhunter.com/customization) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Products:** Opportunity to develop and market products that provide more sustainable alternatives. - **Environmental Awareness:** Potential for creating products that raise awareness about pressing environmental issues. - **Unique Design:** Demand for innovative and creative product designs that capture consumer attention. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities include developing new ways to create eco-friendly products. - **Consumer Goods:** Opportunity to create and market environmentally-conscious products. - **Art and Design:** Innovative designs like the 'Scissor Spiders' present opportunities for unique and attention-grabbing creations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crow Beak-Inspired Tweezers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kuchibashi.md) - [Insect-Inspired Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insect-bronze-sculptures.md) - [Nature Care Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/livio.md) - [Bat-Inspired Kitchen Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elizabat.md) - [Crawling Dynamic Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carpentopod.md) - [Foldout Kinetic Pocket Knives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craighill-sidewinder.md) - [Ergomatically Shaped Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ergomatically-shaped-scissors-ergomatically-shaped-scissors-with-a-bat-desi.md) - [Guitar-Shaped Cutting Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nikken-cutlery.md) - [Minimalist Two-in-One Scissors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twoinone-scissors.md)
