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.
