Leave No Plastic Behind #5

Episode 5 of Leave No Plastic Behind: Plastic Quilt Project is opening this Friday, June 5, at S.C.R.A.P Gallery in Portland, OR; more info HERE

Ruby Re-Usable crocheted this square (use your imagination: it is kind of square) for the LNPB quilt out of the blue plastic bags that the newspaper is delivered in; those white thingies are the safety liners underneath the lids of milk and juice cartons.

Read the rest of the explanation/artist statement HERE on the Leave No Plastic Behind blog and then remember to Make Art Not Waste! love, etc Ruby

crochet is quite simple, doing it well takes some patience and skill (and the pic of my “square” shows that I am not there yet), but I highly recommend trying your hand at crocheting, especially plastic bags!
