I started Playfulplarning about 3 years ago to find a way to create art from all the plastic waste around me. I live near Houston, Texas and we have a beautiful verity of colors and thickness of plastic. I usually use plastic grocery store bags, but I have used so many other things including but not limited to thick plastic bags, bottle lids and discarded yarn. I just started getting into the world of plastic melting which I will be doing more of in the future. I have started learning metal working, so keep an eye out for more use of cans or metal tabs. My area has very little recycling, no curbside recycling and so this is my way of bringing awareness to the need for more recycling. Thanks for joining me on this journey, I look forward to sharing my projects with all of you and seeing how you bring recycling and art together as well.
