Hello all I am looking for a quantity of wooden cotton reels (or even corks in quantity) and green thin plastic or green silicon. I live and work in Wirral (based at Wellington Road Art Studios) but do come into the central part of Liverpool fairly regularly by train and can meet to collect.

I have been using these materials for making flower models and recently taught a workshop in this and had a really great response of people wanting to do it but need to replenish my stock.

The green I had was donated by a sign writer years ago but obviously making flowers we used lots of green for the leaves! it was thin but flexible, green plastic bags would not cut it/do the job. As you can see from the photo, the green edges of Vitalite would do it too if you go through vast quantities of this or even the green mushroom boxes.

for more images go to my blog https://abscraft.uk/2024/02/12/new-day-recycling-workshop/ or pinterest https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/600808406567852628

Many thanks, Alison at info@abscraft.com
