  • Spirit Nest by Jayson Fann
    Jayson Fann builds giant spirit nests that are large enough to accommodate up to eight people. A California resident who helps to run the amazing <a href="http://bigsurspiritgarden.com/Spirit_Garden_/HowWeBuildNests.html">Big Sur Spirit Garden</a> along the Pacific Coast, Fann carefully harvests wood from local forests to build these amazing structures. Many days and hands are required to collect the requisite branches (without damaging trees), and many more to create the cozy, <a href="http://inhabitat.com/animal-farms-cozy-human-nests-hang-from-the-treetops/">human-sized nests</a> that are also structurally sound.
