I use recycled materials…. I pick things up all of the time and see if they can be re-used some way. I hate that things are thrown out and wasted and I really dislike the overuse of packaging.
So I use paper a lot. I like to prolong its life and give it an extra journey. That’s why I use means of travel a lot in my work – boats, planes, shoes etc.. all used to get from one place to another, mapping
