so, I saw these awesome rugs on dudecraft - like huge doilies. I immediately wanted to make one, but with my aim to use only recycled or reclaimed materials this year, it took a bit of experimenting to find good materials.
My attempts
The best option I've found so far was to use stretchy fabric, and luckily I had some slightly damaged ribbed shirt fabric from reverse garbage (sorry this is mostly relevant for brisbaneites, but maybe there is something like this in your city? I LOVE rg - could rave all day about them). Non-stretchy fabric was ok too, but the rug had less... bounce to it.
these ones were for a show Rozi and I were in recently - Future Specs, run by the 4c arts collective. More pics and things from that show to come!
They got a good response! I think I'll have to give some lessons sometime. Basically though, if you can crochet, you can make them. Just use your hand as a big crochet hook! And if you are going to make one, please think of using reclaimed material - divert some fabric from landfill!

Have you ever thoughut about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say iss valuable and everything. However think of if you added some great pictures or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but woth imaqges and clips, this site could definitely bee one of the most beneficial in its niche. Terrific blog!
