<i>"Lydra is a Melbourne-based fashion accessories label that is calling upon Grandmas, Grannies, Bubbes, Nonnas and Nans to step forward and become apart of the Lydra family. <br />
<br />
This social enterprise will engage with the elderly community to create a cross generational initiative, linking both the younger and older generation through their love of fashion. <br />
<br />
Lydra started from a bespoke clutch purse that drew the eye and captured the imagination! All the products are made from pre-loved fabrics, produced and sourced locally, with a strong emphasis on preserving the environment.<br />
<br />
Each product is one-of-a-kind, with its own novel name and a description of the garment’s former life. Lydra is fun, fit for all occasions and, most importantly, allows you to be yourself."</i><br />

Combining a few products to the order, meant that the one cost of DHL shipping would be shared amongst the order, so instead of $26 shipping for one item, we actually got 5 gifts for the same shipping price. <br />
<br />
What we didn't notice on the product listing photographs, was that each little bombshell bee has a stinger crafted into its bottom too!<br />

<div style="color: blue;"><b> </b></div><div style="color: blue;"><b>Can you tell us a little about who you are?</b></div><br />
Lumoi is an on-line ethical jewellery boutique offering handmade pieces designed and made by Louise Hall.<br />
<br />
Louise has worked in the jewellery industry for 9 years. She started her career as a buyers assistant on the jewellery desk for a TV shopping channel. This fueled her passion for jewellery and allowed her to work with a wide range of designs from the UK and abroad, visiting many of the UK based jewellery shows and the Vincenza Jewellery show in Italy.<br />
<br />
Lou went on to London's jewellery quarter, Hatton Garden where she then worked for a major Diamond and Gold importers. Intrigued by the intricate processes involved, specifically in handmade jewellery production, Louise decided to dedicate her spare time to exploring jewellery making techniques and design herself.<br />
<br />
In Jan 2008 Lumoi was born.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: blue;"><b>Can you tell us about your products?</b></div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div>All Lumoi jewellery is made by hand from Louise's London based studio. We never produce more than 5 pieces of each design, with most of our lines being one of a kind. We do this to avoid contributing to an already flooded market whilst keeping you safe with the knowledge that they will stand out from the crowd with something truly different.<br />
<br />
One of Louise's favorite mediums to work with is Precious Metal Clay (PMC) which is a wonderful material that is relatively new to the jewellery industry. One of the best things about PMC for us (and you) is it's low impact on the environment. The ground fine silver particles are recycled & reclaimed from scraps, x-ray and film plates. So it has great Eco-credentials! PMC is finely ground pure silver particles mixed together with an organic binder to form a clay like material. The 'clay' can be shaped and molded by hand and interesting textures and shapes can be made with the use of hand tools. Once dried PMC can be fired in a kiln or with a hand torch. Here's where the magic happens; during the firing process the organic binder holding the silver particles together burns away, fusing the silver (sintering), leaving a solid piece of .999 pure silver. We try to incorporate recycled material into our designs as much as we can.<br />
<br />
We package all of our jewellery in recycled glass jars that we save from our homes & studio to keep our products as 'green' as possible. The material that covers our jars is recycled too! We encourage our customers to be creative & re-use the jars in their homes or place of work, keeping them in circulation for as long as possible.<br />
<br />
<div style="color: blue;"><b>How do you incorporate recycled material into your products?</b></div><div style="color: blue;"><br />
</div>Along with using recycled fine silver (PMC) we have also launched a jewellery recycling service in conjunction with London Jewellery week back in June 2010, which has received a great response! Customers can send in their unwanted/broken jewellery which is valued by us and a voucher is offered in exchange for the unwanted pieces. All jewellery sent in is dismantled, cleaned & worked into new designs often teamed with a little something new to add a new lease of life . The more jewellery sent into us, the greener we are becoming, it's great! To find out more please visit <a href="http://www.lumoi.com/recycling-service">here</a><br />

<div style="color: blue;"><b>What does the future have in store for Lumoi?</b></div><br />
We're extremely excited to be having a new website built! It's still in the very early stages but we're hoping to have it live early next year. So expect new ranges, new ways to recycle your old jewellery, new services & new products available more often!! We're also preparing a competition for our 4th birthday in January 2012, so keep tuned on Twitter or Facebook for more details on that. And of course, we're going to keep pushing our recycling service in order to revive all those odd beads, earrings, bracelets & necklaces laying unloved at the bottom of all those jewellery boxes out there!<br />

Craftworks Cambodia did not have an option to sell online, so approached Recycled Market to see if we could help expand their online presence. We are delighted to help Sapbay's project, working with producer groups living and working around the capital city of Phnom Pehn, help artisans achieve a better life of dignity, and better education for their children.<br />

Additionally, recycled bomb shell bee sculptures. Bomb casings are left over from Cambodia's wartime three decades ago.

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Freight charges out of Cambodia are ridiculously expensive, but less money for larger weight volume.

<i>"Greg has been practicing his craft for over two decades, showing his work around Australia and in other countries.<br />
<br />
The recent decision to take his work into a more commercial context directed him to view his studio and stores of materials in a different light.<br />
<br />
Upon delving into the various collections he had begun, and contemplating what his interests had been over time, he observed some patterns and reinforced his moral stance about creating new work from found objects.<br />
<br />
He noticed a recurring theme in the culinary utensil area as he had gathered a stock pile of organic materials, including bone and ivory handles from old cutlery sets.<br />
<br />
Eventually realising that the jewellery he made using this source for materials was of interest to a wide cross section of the public and that this was an area which offered endless possibilities.<br />
<br />
The range of objects that he now produces consists of the gleanings from trash and treasure markets, opportunity shops, friends, customers and supporters.<br />
<br />
His backyard studio now bulges with the plethora of items that we use in our kitchens and he uses his jewellery making skills to heighten and embellish those familiar objects into curious wearables."</i><br />

Ruti is 26 years old, born and raised in Jerusalem, currently studying Occupational Therapy in the city of Haifa, Israel.<br />
<br />
<br />
She has always loved art – painting, sculpting, photographing, designing, beading and more.<br />
<br />
In recent years she has been drawn to the magic of folding recycled paper and creating various works of art with them.<br />
<br />
This kind of art combines her passion for shaping and color-matching, with her love for nature, while attempting to preserve and reuse pre-existing materials.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ruti's colorful stylish products can add a lot of grace and peace to a home or work environment.<br />

<b><span style="color: #3333ff;">Can you tell us a little about who you are?</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">My name is Beth and I started life a long time ago in South Africa. This African childhood left me with a love of the music, the people and the crafts of Africa. Ethical Gifts was born as a way of combining this interest with a desire to do something, albeit small, to help those whose lives are so difficult as a result of poverty</span></div><div class="im"><span style="font-size: small;"> <br />
</span><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">Can you tell us about your products?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">The products stocked by Ethical Gifts are a selection of fair-trade and ecofriendly gifts. The products vary from very sweet baby toys, recycled bomb shell jewellery to multi-coloured African animals made from recycled rubber thongs</span></div><div class="im"><span style="font-size: small;"> <br />
</span><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">How do you incorporate recycled material into your products?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">Fair-trade crafts are usually recycled. The resources available to many of the crafts people are limited so they use waste material and often in impressively ingenious and creative ways</span></div><div class="im"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><b><span style="color: #3333ff;">What does the future have in store for Ethical Gifts?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;">I think the future for ecofriendly, recycled and fair-trade products is very positive as more and more people come to see the urgency and the importance of taking care of both the people and the planet.</span><br />

<br />
Here is a wonderful video c/o Richard Lang and Judith Selby Lang. The couple make sculptures, prints, jewelry and installations with the plastic they find washed up, raising a deeper concern with the problem of plastic pollution in our seas.<br />

<br />
<i>"It takes 70% less energy to make recycled paper, and 95% less energy to make recycled aluminium cans than it does when using new raw materials. It takes 125 plastic milk bottles to make one 140 litre recycled plastic wheelie bin." </i>source <a href="http://www.enviroehub.com.au/9-sustainability-challenges/waste/the-wastewise-action-plan-/recycling-ideas-and-tips">City of Port Phillip Community Environment eHub</a><i></i><br />
<i> </i><br />
<h4></h4><i>"Aluminium and steel cans, glass bottles, PET bottles, and most cardboard are made from recycled materials and are usually recyclable after use. Choose items with this kind of packaging rather than packaging made entirely from virgin raw materials. It's important to buy recycled as this creates a demand for recycled materials and supports the recycling industries."</i> source<a href="http://recyclingnearyou.com.au/education/recycling-facts-tips.cfm"> PlanetArk</a><br />
<br />
<i>"When we do not recycle at least our glass or aluminum we cost the earth in power usage, water and oil usage and landfill usage; glass takes up to 4000 years to decompose in a landfill yet can be recycled indefinitely." </i>source <a href="http://environment-green.com/">Environment Green</a><br />
<br />
<i>"If 300,000 people would stop junk mail coming to their home, they could save half a million trees." </i><br />
