Our oceans are filling up with plastic: plastic that harms wildlife and never biodegrades; plastic that enters the food chain and leaches toxic chemicals. This blog is a record of my journey to live with as little unnecessary plastic as possible. Won't you join me? Fake plastic fish may be cute, but if we keep filling up our oceans with plastic, they could be the only kind we have left.... |
Tina, eat the plastic food!
Another sleepless night. Another wacky “art” project. Meet Tina. Tina’s tummy is full of plastic bags. And that’s okay, because she’s a fake plastic fish. In fact, her whole body is knitted from plastic bags… from the plastic bag “yarn” ball I made the other night. Click on images to see larger.
And remember, plastic bags are not evil. How can they be? They’re just plastic bags. It’s the overproduction of and disposal of them by humans that causes harm to other living things. So here are a few plastic bags that, for the time being, are just hanging out being a fish called Tina.

Beth,
This is a GREAT fish!!! I love it. I really do! :0)
And for some reason, your blog reminds me of Radiohead. Either I’m going crazy or Radiohead has similar title to one of their songs. (I’m probably going crazy.)
Anyway, kudos for creating such a beautiful plastic fish!!
:0)

You’re not crazy! They have a song called “Flake Plastic Trees.”
I have a plastic yarn ball waiting to be crocheted into a grocery bag. I can’t decide if that’s good or not…to take a bazillion plastic grocery bags and make them into one. hmm…
CRACK ME UP!
Awesome fish!
Nicole – I think if you already have a bazillion plastic bags, then it’s ok to do something crafty with them. But don’t go out and get more to use them for crafts. (Email me and I’ll send you mine, lol!)
Loved the fish! This is skill! It totally looks fishy and scalley! Terrific!
I’ll bet there are hundreds of us out there somewhere with a ball of plastic “yarn”, just waiting for an inspirational moment!
Thank you!
Shaun M.
