This is Utando the eco orang utan travel pal made out of used glove, tennis ball, synthetic filler from a torn cushion, fabric scraps and two Malaysian 5c coins.
I made this especially for my friend Stani who's doing a world tour by BICYCLE with her hubby Richard. They're called the Velomads. A truly inspiring couple who cares more about the Earth than anything else in the world. It took them 7 years to get to Malaysia from France! Go to their website to see which part of the world they're at now, and if you do, say hi to her and Utando for me ;)
Another garment from a bolster case! Think I can consider myself a qualified bolster surgeon now, hehe. I hope surgeons don't get the same kind of high I do... when cutting people up!?
This is not exactly recycling as the bolster case was brand new but after doing my feasibility studies it IS more environmentally friendly to transform something redundant at home to something functional instead of buying new.
