Folk Art Tote Bag

alrighty I promised a better picture of my newest tote, I did it in a folk art design, Lately I have been loving pictures of cats and cows and mice , Just some thing so "Home" about them,

Close up showing cat and cow, I have to say
I do like how well the aging on this tote bag turned out,

I used gesso and then....pastel chalk, water color pencils and charcoal, and sealed with a sealant.

I made my first pincushion. The round one, I used a wonderful pattern by www.purlbee.com/very-easy-pincushions/Thank You purlbee for creating this wonderful tutorial!!The heart pattern is my own and I am playing learning how to use colors, fabrics, stitches, felt, wool. practice practice and more practice!

I sold my Patriotic Pocket Annie!!!! I belong to this small but wonderful group called A Time For Primitives eBay Group ATFP http://tinyurl.com/2m9ptbThe leader of the group Lisa Johnson,of Skunk Hollow Country Storehttp://www.skunkhollowcountrystore.com/ Lisa, placed my Pocket Annie on her Gathering Room selling page of her web site and she sold Pocket Annie !!! I didn't put a really big dollar price actually just some of cost not even adding my time, But its getting my name out there and hopefully creating a following of people for me (SympleTymes)Plus it is amazing and just down right EXCITING!!!!!!.. to me ...people... strangers who like my creations enough to buy them amazing!!!More than any thing I LOVE to create and selling even at low price than packing the creation away!!You can see the sold out sign on Pocket Annie here about the 3rd pic down...http://www.skunkhollowcountrystore.com/gatheringplace.html
