Two pocket plarn purse is made from over 50 plastic grocery bags.
Artist Misty Amber brings her passion for the world and its ecology to bear on creating beautiful and useful items. Notable are her crotcheted bags, hats, and hair clips made of the ubiquitous plastic grocery bag. She takes an item that clogs kitchen drawers and landfills, creating whimsical handbags, chic hats, and hair flare that is beautiful, practical, durable and, best of all, actively environmentally sound.
38 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year by Americans alone.
The average family uses Around 700-1200 plastic grocery bags per year.
Eco Art, it just makes sense.
