Craft + Activism = Craftivism= Changing the world & reaching out one person (human & non-human) at a time through craftivism and art. These are the projects that I get up to in my craftivism...all my finished projects are veganized in order to be both human & non-human-friendly. Know of any projects? Submit them! No?

NEW OIL SPILL OFF NZ - Sweaters are a staple during oil spill penguin rescue operations. This is the actual pattern…They have collected enough sweaters at the moment, but you can keep tabs on whether more are needed on the link mentioned below. It’s so sad that there are so many oils spills and wildlife are always the ones affected by these. I’ll probably make one of these to keep on hand should they be needed…as I am pretty sure this won’t be the last oil spill :(

“Off the coast of Tauranga, the oil spill from the Rena is having a disastrous effect on wildlife and the environment. A number of little blue penguins have already been caught in the oil and there are growing fears that more will be affected.”
They ”are rallying the crafty troops to help with the penguin rescue effort by knitting penguin jumpers, which help protect the birds and prevent them from preening their feathers and ingesting the toxic oil.”
