Bag It

Bag It

Hallo everyone!

I have decided that one cannot

have too many of these bags.

They seem to make even the

most mundane items look as

though a special purchase

has been made

Here's Hazel Harler with her

gorgeous bag 

"This is my decorated bag using the So Soft fabric paints

I started by putting a piece of corrugated card 

inside the bag, this was to give me a firm surface 

to work on and stop the paint from going through

 to the other side of the bag. 

Sorry about the photo, I didn't realise that the 

shutters on my camera hadn't opened properly.

I used a sponge the add the paint.

 I mounted some small Gelli plates onto 

acrylic blocks and used them like stamps 

to add the colour,

 I must admit that I like this and wonder 

if I should have stopped there.

Then used a sponge to stencil the paint onto the bag.

I stencilled some flowers.

I used some indian ink markers to give 

the flowers a bit more definition

I also added some white dots here and there"

Thank you Hazel, that

really is a versatile design

I'm thinking that you could stop

at any of the stages and still

have a stunning bag.  I would

go so far as to say that you could

make a series of bags and stop

the decoration of each one at

the end of the different stages

That'll be the birthdays sorted for this year then....

'Till tomorrow
