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
