I found this very talented woman, Helle Jorgensen who has a blog called 'Gooseflesh' who makes the most amazing crocheted sea creatures. She uses yarn but also I found, she makes 'yarn' out of plastic shopping bags, then crochets them into works of art (bottom image). People send her bags from all over the world which is why she is able to achieve such wonderful colors.
She gives instructions on the website on how to make the plastic bag yarn so you can give it a try if you'd like.For me, it is a wonderful thing to see such beauty made from stuff that more often than not ends up in a landfill.
