A pair of jeans die. A bag is born.

Rainy day and I needed to throw out some old clothes. Got to chucking a pair of jeans and decided I would solve my lack of bags problem too.

Do a textiles project in 1 1/2 days! Ahhhh!!!

Well, I've just started my art foundation and during the introductory stage we have 2 1/2 days trying out each area of the Art Academy to get an idea what we want to specialise in.

2 1/2 days is pretty short time to fully explore a project and THEN we found out we were life drawing the first day rather than starting the first project! Pressure!!

Anyways, my first area was textiles and we had to make something in the time out of the materials available inspired by something in Cambridge - which for me was the botanical gardens.

Here I will post my inspiration and then the finished piece - a bag - which I think, for 1 1/2 days ain't bad (especially as I'm noooooo textiles expert!).
