(the best) RAW MATERIAL

Recycled paper egg cartons are the primary ingredient in my maché recipe. I have found that this is simply the best material to use. The
long fibers in egg cartons make the maché strong and durable.

You may be thinking that I must eat an incredible amount of eggs —
well — yes and no. The majority of the egg cartons come from family and friends. I am usually greeted by a bag full of egg cartons when I visit friends. Often I find donated egg cartons outside my front door. This always makes me smile — not only are people showing support for my work, but they are also showing support for recycling efforts.

An underlying but very important theme to my work is concern for
the Earth. What is happening to our environment scares me. I hope to encourage others to think about their impact on the environment.
