Some Straw/Straw archive inspiration: reed flite I found at a thrift store, juxtaposed with plastic drinking straws. Reed is the common name of phragmites that I've explored here earlier. They are incredibly efficient at taking root and sucking up water. Plastic straws are also a great tool, but a terrible waste of petroleum as they cannot be recycled by most municipal programs. Both present wide opportunities for re/use. #wastenot #invasiveplants #materialsresearch #slowfashion #sustainablefashion #wasteisculture #clothisculture

The straw/straw reference archive is in a good place. Cannot wait to crank out this project this summer. My team is awesome, and we have some great support. I'm looking for a photographer/videographer to periodically document our steps and help create a crowdfunding campaign. We're all unpaid until we build the campaign. Pls contact me if you know of an interested up and comer, particularly from an underrepresented background, we are inclusive and supportive. 860 locals only please. 🌾 #artisanfashion #materialsresearch #slowfashion #upcycling #wasteisculture #clothisculture #hartfordfashion

Because of the flat profile of the handle, she can also hang on a hook against a wall. #MorningMake #flatreed #upcycled #basketry #officewaste #industrialwaste #wastenot #makeuse #materialsresearch #foundmaterials #wasteisculture
