Halo to you all ! Well I need to persevere a bit with this blogging hey? Its a new thing to learn. Not so new ...I have done some one or two and yet....I wait seven years to do the next one ......? Note to self......not good......work on this!.So then, perhaps i should show you my new works? You see....What it is all about , realy ........We have started this making (crochetting) with plastic strips long ago....It is nothing new . Altho, when my Grandmother crochetted hats and mats from plastic many years ago...it was a optional choice. I personally do not think this is optional any more. Each and every person should in my opinion try to re or up-cycle every item that ever they touch! Don't you think?. And just here i have noticed is the problem......The other day some person showed me a new plastic container that is used to pack tomato paste for consumers....and then me exclaimed....... No! not another plastic container...., why don't they stick with the can or other.....instead of plastic? Then some one answered ....you just recycle it! At that moment I realised again...people these days think.....it goes to recycling automatically....so then it is fine.....in other words it is somebody els's problem... But it is not! So......we have been making products with plastic crochet.....it is al fine, however , people still see the beautiful crochetted products as .............Trash.....or some ugly up-cycled plastic goodies.....because they compare it to leather orsome other product, wich it will never be, however, No animal had to die or even be born and eventually die in order for its skin to be taken. Or even no plant .....Only plastic was recycled. And is it strong ? I eventually got tired of buying belts that keep breaking and made me a plastic crochetted belt. .........It does not care or break for anything.....Yay!...Also each handbag we made from plastic shopping bag strips .....contains upwards of 30 shopping bags ....then if you think about it ...if you put 30 shopping bags inside of each other....that is about how strong those bags are....you can carry a brick in it...and it won't care.I have statred to also use oyster mesh for my handbags ....and...... woo wow wee ! Are those bags usefull and strong....?
