Finally! I have the "how to make your own onestringbag" instructions on instructables! See it here: onestringbag on instructables.com
The bags are still selling well at Victoria Market.

Fixed some spelling mistakes through the site today. So now you find where to buy them instead of where to but them! Working on the new stand for point of sale, also will be able to drop the prices a bit, I can make them a bit faster, and when I start getting materials wholesale it will be even better. It's nice that people out there have actually been buying the bags! Thank you who ever you are!

onestringbag has just gone on sale at Organic Elements at Victoria Market. It is a test sale. Hopefully the price will be OK. I really can't make them any cheaper. The retail commission might be quite different in different places. I need to allow for this.
When I went back for the zucchini I forgot to buy, it was interesting to look at it like just anyone else. Get a bit of disconnection from it. I'm thinking already that people are very busy when shopping, and often pondering the mysteries of the world are not really on your mind when you have either plastic bags by the role or paper bags on a string to pull off as you need. The plastic bags will end up in the rubbish, the paper bags maybe in the recycling or if lucky in the compost bin, but the problems is those paper bags used to be trees - even if the paper is recycled paper. And it is still a bit throw away.
i remembered also to take some photos!
next i will visit ceres and see how they feel about the bags - if they would like to sell them there. it's all so very exciting!
