The Castaway Characters' Story Unfolds - 1

The Castaway Characters story started in 2011.  By experimenting with pieces of plastic packaging that would usually be thrown away without a second thought I realized it was possible to link pieces together without using adhesives.  A hole punch was the only tool I used to link bread bag tags and milk carton stoppers to make the first of the characters. By trying different combinations I saw the potential to create a variety of free-standing figures that could be assembled and taken apart without damage to the components. This meant that the parts could be used again and again in a variety of different combinations to create quite a range of colourful characters.
