======Deconsumption======

I like DIY, deconsumption, and recycling/reusing stuff to reduce manufacturing waste.

  * Sometimes [[zines:nut_ink|we make our own drawing ink]] from charcoal and walnuts we got outside.
  * A lot of the materials we use for our art and store are thrifted.  You ever find 1000 water-resistant mailing envelopes for $5?
  * A lot of the displays we use for in-person events are re-used.  Like kitchen spice racks for spinning displays, or a discarded acrylic shelf from a brick-and-mortar store.
  * I use old clothes and scraps to repair our dog toys and fabric furniture.
  * I'm making a fence around our yard out of free wood pallets and vines from our yard.

I try not to make judgements on other people for their own spending habits.  I personally like to live smaller and slower.  It's fun to find new uses for old things!
