Emily Coles: The Amazing Plastic Rug

What a Fab piece of Mail Art. The only way to describe it is like knitting with plastic bags. I hope Emily tells us how she made this, and what's more important is how long did it take to make this.

A big Bravo to Emily. It was sent without an envelope, but a very big stamp. Because stamps are bigger up in THE NORTH.

Thank you for the wonderful surprise.

Comment by E Coles on September 5, 2015 at 5:18pm: I'm glad you liked the "rug". It was crocheted from plastic bag yarn (plarn). From the colours I can tell that the bags were from Waitrose, Sainsburys and M&S.
