Did you know that the plastic wrapping that acts as an envelope for your home-delivered  copy of The Shed is recyclable?
It should go in your recycle bin after you remove it and not in the rubbish. Here’s the official description from our mailing house, Ovato, of just what this plastic is.

“Our flow wrap solutions are LDPE ( Low and Linear low density polyethylene with an EPI additive ) which is acceptable for level 4 soft plastic recycling.
The EPI Additive is a Totally Degradable Plastic additive which helps manage the lifetime of products made from the most common plastics. 
Due to these additives our flow wrap is degradable. Ovato is always on the lookout for new cost effective sustainable solutions for packaging.”

Steampunk toys

A steampunk toy (for want of a better term) combines two passions of mine. I love making things that are a bit different, even a bit quirky. Something that stands out from the run of the mill stuff that you buy at the shops. Secondly, I enjoy the challenge of bringing together bits and pieces to make seemingly disparate objects into a semi-plausible whole toy. Steampunk toys give me the opportunity to do both.
