Trillium Artisans is a nonprofit community economic development organization that supports low-income crafters in the city of Portland, Oregon, USA, who create handmade items using a minimum of 50% recycled or reclaimed materials.
In the late fall of 1998, Heidi Leugers of Reclaimed Wool created her first ornament from recycled wool sweaters. At the same time, she also created waste - scrap and by-product from this ornament. To face this challenge became her creative vision: to take responsibility for the waste she created in the studio, and use it herself for the creation of new items. Each year Heidi recycles hundreds of pounds of post-consumer garments and textile industry waste.
Thank you for looking at Heidi's ornament, and please see our other listings for more gifts, accessories, and decor items made from recycled materials. Indie crafts with a green twist!
