Recyclabilia

My boyfriend and I recycle paper all the time. It can certainly save one a few shillings--on note paper and art paper. Simply save all that trash mail that is blank on one side. You can even cut up food packets and use the inside as card for writing on. (I admire coconut milk canning companies who print useful recipes on the reverse side of the label.) Nice collages can be made out of cut up colourful food packets and pamphlets and things; newspaper too. All you need are pieces of coloured paper. Try ripping up some petal shapes out of coloured papers. Make a few stems and leaves, too. Then paste them into attractive arrangements that please and suit you. You might find, at some point, that a piece of torn paper is no longer just paper, but the real and actual petal of a flower...
