WhipUp is a multi-author craft blog. They post exhibition and book reviews, artist and maker features, tutorials, controversy and current issues in the crafting world. They recently held a recycled craft competition, where entrants had two weeks to make something that was 90% recycled materials. (To find out more about recycling check out the TreeHugger guide to 'How to Green Your Recycling')
The winners have just been announced and there are some really fun, wacky and interesting entries. One entrant made a wall hanging from Osso Bucco bones, another felted her dogs hair to make fabric, there were earings from wine corks, hats made of odd socks, and some lovely papier mache bowls (pictured).
