    Thanks for mentioning my work………….. I’m thrilled.

    I will be exhibiting the woollen Coral garden and the plastic bag sea creatures plus a new installation based on the Plastic Bag Rubbish Vortex, in the US, later this year and early 2008. For more details visit my blog in the next few weeks.

    Best to you chaps

    Thanks for pointing this out. The art is amazing and the tutorial was a big “a-ha” moment for me. I have a ton of plastic bags to use up, unfortunately none of them are pink!
