SEE THE EVEREST ORNAMENT FOR A UNIQUE HOLIDAY GIFT
Meet Artisan Jeff Clapp, the creator of the Bells From Everest.
I was inspired while watching a National Geographic about Mount Everest. Images of oxygen cylinders left by mountaineers on top of the world both shocked and delighted me. Shocked by the thought of people trashing such a beautiful place and delighted because I believed I could take trash and recreate treasure.
What I didn't realize was how much this "great idea" would change my life.
Images like these inspired me to change my life and try and do something important.
