Hello 🥰
I’m back from having a little social media break but I have been very busy with both life stuff and creative endeavours 💖
In general I try to be as environmentally conscious as I can. This can fluctuate depending on things like finances and availability but it’s really never been easier to make swaps here and there to more sustainable alternatives.
So…the fact that I was using a lot of plastic in my making just wasn’t sitting right and was starting to eat away at my thoughts.
I hasten to add…I began crafting prolifically again when I was healing out of a depression and burnout. Caring so much about what was in this and that and how it was packaged had actually put a huge stop to my creativity and I really needed to allow myself to just explore and create and let things flow out of me in whatever ways I could access and afford and felt interested in doing. The shrink plastic allowed me to turn tiny illustrations of woodland creatures into wearable art in a way that brought me so much joy.
Now I aim to discover new ways of doing just that, but using sustainable materials.
My characters are here to stay, they are ever growing and making new friends.
I’ve got a really good recipe for paper clay that uses junk mail and has no plastic in it that I will share soon.
I would love to hear from you if you have any advice on becoming a more sustainable creative 🦄
