SAME – Beach Bag

it has been forever but i thought i would try to bring back my weekly SAME (Share A Moment/Event)


this is what i have been working on.

 

 

i have had it in my head for quite some time but it was just a matter taking the time to sit down and actually do it!! and what better time then now right! Jump on over to Gingersnap Creations and see what others have come up with for this particular challenge!

 

so i started with a canvas bag which i picked up at the  $ store.

i completely gesso’d  each side in order to hide the pre-printed embellie on it

 

 

 

 

then it was only a matter of spraying each side with different color washes (told you i am in love with these things!)..

 

 

 

 

 

 

adding a few rubons, attaching some canvas tags, taking out the sewing machine (ARGGH), some of my new Claudine Hellmuth stamps …..

and there you have it.. my new beach / shopping / carry all my stuff to work bag.
thanks for stopping by..til next time…

HAPPY SCRAPPING!!!

    Wow! What a transformation – it is *gorgeous*!!! I never would have guessed it started life at the dollar store. Fabulous bag – worthy of framing – what a great piece of art to carry with you. Thanks for sharing with Gingersnap Creations!

    Love your bag. I personally love using the sewing machine in my mixed media play, it adds a great textural element.
