Another thing that did strike me was how the colours and patterns within plactic bottles change depending on what the bottle is placed on. I like this idea of garments looking different depending on how/where they are worn.

Drawings of plastic
Here are some drawings of plastic bottles and plastic bags from my sketchbook, and a first experiment with stitching. I was trying to find beauty in things that are discarded, unwanted and environmentally damaging. I also wanted to communicate how something seemingly meaningless to one person can hold meaning for another - the red and green plastic bag came wrapped around homecooked food my boyfriend's mother had given him to bring to me. The bag reflects locality - local Midland's shop -- and also the sentiment of caring for someone else.
