This new gridwork bag has been a labour of love. A bringing together of small studies on fabric created over the years with a glancing back and a nod to the old in order to move forwards. This patchwork bag is a cross pollination of different aspects of my practice. Blending together spontaneous painted marks and printed symbols from my collection of lino blocks and rubber stamps with machine and hand stitching. This piece is truly one of a kind. Main bag size 41 x 45 cm. Length including handles 64cm Distance between to of bag and middle of handle 18cm A patchwork of hand dyed, painted and printed linen & cotton fabrics Salvaged vintage fabrics Grey wool felt lining A mix of machine and hand stitching Sturdy woven handle with fabric covering Care instructions - if needed, give a gentle wash in cold water with minimal detergent.
