Summer has rapidly turned into fall and it’s only a matter of time before the first snowflakes drift down to cover the golden leaves on the ground. It’s always a bittersweet time of year.

Janna Swales wants to make plastic “something” to treasure. But to make a real difference, she has her sights set on working on a larger scale. Swales breaks pieces off of my old leaky blue jug and puts it in her extruder. “The great thing about this blue jug you gave me is the brittleness of the old plastic.

There was a loud crack and the machine crashed through the ice. “It was a brand-new century when Robert Service wrote in one of his poems about the Arctic trails (that had their secret tales) with the ability to make your blood run cold. We are now in a new century, again, and a catskinner by the name of Glen (I don’t know his last name) would concur that the famous bard’s line still rings true today. Glen grew up in Ontario, where much of his time was spent in the pool as a competitive swimmer.
