Textile Art of Small Tote Bags

 Textile Art on Small Tote Bags

Light small tote bags with a little art on them make a nice gift and are easy to send in the mail. The art work is painted with dyes and highlighted with free motion thread sketching,  Purchased batik fabrics which have a high thread count are used to make the body of the bag for sturdiness. The bags are washable.


'The Hikers' 
by Eileen Gidman
Approximately 9 X 11"


'Girl Walking Dog'


'Mountain Lake'


'Quail'


I found this batik at Creston Card and Stationery Store It's not in colours I'd seen before and I think it will look great with some of my hand painted textiles. 


There is a new selection of small tote bags for sale at the 1022 Canyon Street Gift Store in Creston, BC. There is a wide selection of local artisan's work at the store and it is definitely worth checking out especially when you are looking for a gift.

I so love these bags Eileen and especially the hikers and quail. They’re the perfect size for so many things and great gifts as well
