That's really interesting actually. We were looking at ways in which people re-use the pattern books after they have discontinued. It is such a shame when they have to throw away pattern books. Some companies we have spoken to, send them to schools for their art projects which is good.

If you have any images of your bags made form upcycled fabrics, I would love to see!

Love

Hi Georgina,
These images are of an installation which also uses upcycled materials….but this time, it’s the wooden logs cut from a fallen birch tree that I rescued from a friend’s wood burner, scrubbed them up and used them in a textile installation to bring them back to life again and draw attention to just how beautiful they are. (Exhibited at the Sam Scorer Gallery, Lincoln July 2013)…
There’s also a mixed media piece from this Birch series and a more contemporary interpretation of the birches which was digitally printed onto canvas.
All for now,
Hope your work is coming on okay.  I guess you’re going to be very busy next year.  Hope all goes well.
 Love,
 Lynn and Alf
