Dear Susan and Mary,
thanks for your inquiry, sorry it's taken a
while to get back to you but I have a two month old baby, and a toddler, and
my emails have been banking up.
I would love to say that Feral Cheryl is made
from recycled plastics...but that's not the case. I deal with a small
Australian manufacturer who makes the doll bodies, and they don't have the
technology at this stage to use recycled plastics in the process.
She is made of pvc plastic. However, unlike Barbie, there is only one
model so the idea is that no one should have more than one Feral Cheryl, and
you don't throw her away. Her packaging is made of recycled cardboard,
and doubles as a postage pack for sending. The rest of the doll is made from
new materials...thread, beads, fabric. As it says on the poster that
comes with the doll..if you need more clothes for her, make them out of scrap
material.
When I first started out on this
project, I had a lot of plans for how she could be made of recycled and reused
materials...and your inquiry has prompted me to look into that again.
regards,
Lee Duncan
