ECO CHALLENGE PIECES

Fibre Arts Eco Challenge March 2009
For the month of March I had challenged all Fibre Arts Members to an Eco Challenge. They were to create, reuse, or rejuvenate some fibre that would be positive for our eco system.
Thea B. created a wonderful winter wallhanging made from recycled plastic bags. Do click on the photo for a detailed view.

Phyllis N wove a fabulous bath mat created with recycled cotton fabric strips and cotton warp for her bathroom.

Susan S created a really fun scarf made from all her warp ends left over from weaving her tea towels.

Peggy M created a market bag made from remnants of a shower curtain that she had cut for a bathroom window. The market bag folds nicely into a attached pouch. Her photo also sports a pot scrubber crocheted with netting.

My eco challenge was made from a 100% wool cardigan, recycled by washing machine felting, then cutting, sewing and embellishing the fabric into bag, scarf, headband and fingerless gloves.
