Here is another piece from 'trash day'. The original material is the plastic yellow box binding wrapper strips...? You can see from the top picture that I started to strip the plastic to get a really weird fuzzy fiber. I then crocheted long lengths with an 11 hook and then doubled them up to make a choker. I also added some pieces of safety glass but not enough for them to be noticed [didn't have time]. I underestimated the time it would take me to crochet plastic thread. I would really like to make this HUGE and not so tight around the neck so the connections I made aren't permanent though I kind of like the clasp I threw together. I'm still not sure about the color; I was thinking of turning it black but everyone liked the yellow...then I was thinking maybe I could figure out a way to dye it and then I was thinking if I got the fiber small enough maybe I could spin it into new thread...but I don't know how to spin very well so...
