Crocheting with plastic




Seeing how I've been wrapped up with my gardening, I didn't want to ignore my recycled art.(especially because this hobby brings in some cash) Recycled art is still one of my passions and it's fun talking to people at farmers markets about why I do it and the problems with the amount of plastic that is produced everyday. I do hope to run out of bags at some point but unfortunately that isn't going to happen any time soon. In fact, I joke with my kids about who I am going to will my collection of plastic bags to.

Crocheting with plastic bags has been an adventure because I'm never quite sure of how my project will come out. I know I should be writing down my pattern, but I do like the fact that each fish is a little bit different. My work is constantly evolving and my plan is to start making bigger more sculptural figures. Here is a few pictures of how I go about crocheting with plastic.
