Wool is as green a fiber as it gets (a point I make in Sheepish,) but here’s an idea that tops them all: wool coffins. The British have been finding ways to increase wool sales for four hundred years, so they’re very good at it!

After twenty-five years on the farm, I’m adjusting to the adventures of city life. Part of that adjustment is figuring out what I want to write about now, since sheep are no longer part of my daily life. I’m challenging myself creatively by painting with pastels and playing the ukelele as I seek my new writing path.

Unfortunately, Wool makes me itchy; thank goodness it has a cotton lining! Seriously though….I prefer cremation.
awesome! It sure looks a lot like a guitar case LOL…
Velly intellesting! Reminds me of something you knit and then felt. (Hmmm, do you think we knitters could make our own that way??)
A guitar case!
I, too, will go the cremation route, but I think these guys should market their coffins in the US.
What a weird blog topic…coffins. Must be the lack of sunshine. I feel as if I’m living in Seattle.
