Reuse and Recycle

Making use of everything is a village tradition. This artful bag was crocheted from recycled plastic bags collected from trips to the grocery store in Anchorage 180 miles away, newspaper wrappings, and cellophane meat wrappers from the Iliamna trading post. The bags are cut into strips, twisted together into "yarn" and crocheted. Each artist/craft person has her own style.
