Cardboard Man

My Mum, who is a fantastic watercolour artist, brought this to my attention. This is a sculpture by artist Donna Bramall. She has used cardboard to create this life size figure. You can find out more about her work here .

Crochet shopper - old t shirts

crochet bag - using King Cole Riot wool - not recycled

These are my first attempts at creating bags from recycled fabrics. I've used a patchwork effect, woven fabrics together and crocheted strips of fabrics to make a bag or two. I'm not sure they've all been successful and I will adapt the designs. feedback greatly appreciated.
