I have had great fun this week, I guess you could almost say that i have been a woman possessed again, when I find something I like there is no stopping me. This week has been all about, perfecting transfer technique... working with different surfaces. I now have a range of tote bags, they are very very cool. 100% cotton, from www.cottonbynatrue.co.nz .. These are a great product, I used mine to do the supermarket shopping this morning very sturdy. Anyways... Here is what I created.....
Also new this week are a couple of designs.. two of which are on the bag. The others on the the wall tiles featured below.
