cosmetic bag project

laughed a lot while working on this with my mom. following a pattern I found on the net, which was obviously European, with lots of foreign terminology. I love spending the time with her on projects like these. I want to make more and perfect them! I have lots of ideas! love those..

yay for more bags!

The Kanji symbol Fuki, which means fortune and well being, is an image of a stone jar filled with food or wine. When Plenty of wine and food is stored we feel comfort and have confidence in the future.

This bag was finished in one day. A few mistakes, but I am very happy with it. Happy Birthday Tobie!

Green Man Bag

This is my second bag! and this time I bought the canvas bag at the craft store, sewed in the lining, and the pockets, and the handle. painted the outside with Acrylic paint.. the HLB designs thing on the back was a last minute decision, I may or may not stick with it. I might not even be doing this in a week. but I hope I do! again, if you want one.. I'm selling them now! :)

poor old tree

graham cracker cake that I made for josh today, Its the first time I have made a cake with tears! I think it turned out okay.. im just really excited about the teddy grahams on it :) yummm

buddha bag

I bought this bag at Good Will for 2 dollars. It was just a blank canvas bag,

so i decided to paint on it, and here it is! the yellow background is done in screen printing ink,

and the buddha is done in acrylic. If i ever decide to paint a border or ad to it, ill post a picture of it. I really enjoyed doing this and I may want to do it again sometime. If you would like a bag painted, comment to this post or email me, (email is in my complete profile) and we can work something out!

Baby room mural

This is a mural I did for my sister's baby in November last year. Fairies, bamboo and a panda!

I've done a couple other children's murals and such, but can't find any pictures of them.. bummer.

children are very photographic little beings. I tried to capture a little bit of their imagination. They learn and grow so fast! and its all through play. never loose your childish innocence :)

my newest obsession is polymer clay. (aka sculpey clay ) It's something i've played around with since i was a kid, and I have just figured out how much you can really do with it! It's a cheaper way to work with clay while i dont have a wheel or any ceramics equipment at my reach for the moment.

this design was inspired by Gustav klimt
