Hello!

All my packaging is recycled, recyclable and plastic-free. My wooden creatures (see link below) are hand made from scrap or unwanted wood. It may have been a desk or a wardrobe or blown down in a storm. I only use natural beeswax to protect the wood and handtools to make them.

Handmade Wooden Cat with Copper Eyes, Wooden Ca… - Folksy

My miniatures are painted on offcuts of plywood and are prepared with milk paint - a sustainable, natural and planet-friendly paint. I use watercolour paints and seal the painting with casein spray - another natural, milk-based product. The paintings come with a loop made from recycled t-shirt yarn.

What else would you do with an old bowling ball other than recycle it into jewellery.

I have some sets of reusable face wipes, which are packaged in paper bags rather than cellophanes.


I can’t claim that all of my cards etc are cellophane free, as where things have been already packaged I have used up my cellophane stock, but newer items are now packaged in paper bags, and I recycle packaging wherever I can :slight_smile:
