In the world of Closetcrafty, junk doesn’t exist. Everything can be recycled and reused. Blog owner, Penny Yuen, is one environmentally conscious lass who claims to dig (literally) scavenging and transforming junk into useful things which she aptly calls ‘trashure’. She assumes the name Pokok and her alter ego eco warrior plays the role of a story teller cum educator who emphasizes the importance of saving the environment. Penny puts her creative knack to use and creates little cushions, soft toys, pencil cases, pouches and key chains from leftover fabrics and other materials. Her antique stationary collection is a marvel to look at and they are in great working conditions too. She also takes you down memory lane whilst reacquainting you with really old phone indexes, paper clips, sharpeners, rulers and more. If only there were more environmentally-conscious human beings like her, the world would definitely be a better place and we will never have to make absurd plans like sending our junk into outer space. She is also a common feature at The Weld’s Joujou & Shugi Toy Art Mart.
