This cartoon appeared in yesterday's paper....
Yes, well, since I have become a confirmed tote bag toter, I found it quite hilarious (partly because it may be true!)
I have completed this project, which was one in the series of "what do you do with the plastic bags the newspaper comes in"
This is a picture of the entire bag which measures 16" deep by 18" wide by 4" thick
and this is a closer picture of the top (a pair of sturdy crocheted handles!), that shows the inside of the bag too.
This one was created by weaving the plastic bag strips onto a cotton warp on a little table top loom.
Last week I recieved another package of plastic bags from my friend in California that included some lovely peach colored ones --- amazing the lengths companies go to to create something that for the most part just gets thrown away
Meantime, as I mentioned yesterday, I had submitted a design project to a magazine, and as they say "bad news travels like wildfire, good news travels slow", in this morning's email was the "thanks but no thanks" as the project uses size 11 beads (which are pretty little) and they are looking for something simplier.....{sigh}.....one more "rejection slip" for wallpapering with.....
Today we're off to make our one a month trip to the closest Costco (about an hour away in good weather, which it really isn't today), then on to the cleaning up the living room for a Christmas tree and back to other projects later......
into the fray!
