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.
