EDiM3 One of my Art Bags

I have quite a few bags for all different reasons. Several are used for my art supplies. This is one of my "fun" art bags. I purchased it at a Farmer's Market in Morro Bay a couple of years ago. It is made from a pair of recycled jeans for a small girl. Its even got some pink flowers on it and small ruffles - definitely "girly". This bag is certainly different for me being the mother of 3 boys! The bag looked so cute hanging on the rack, but with no daughter to buy one for - at first I looked walked on by. But it sure got my eye and I kept thinking about it - it was hard to ignore. Before long the wheels in my mind were turning and I went back to the denim bag booth. All of a sudden I had an aha moment and thought it would be perfect for some travel art supplies! Bingo! Sold

P.S. My EDiM (Everyday Matters assignments done Every Day in May (well sort of)) posts are going to be out of order as I get an opportunity to attempt them.

What a clever idea for storing art supplies. I love to use recycled materials for my projects as well.

This is so darn cute!!! And every "girl" needs a little "girlie" once in a while!! ;•)

Adorable bag and a great sketch of it! I'm a "bag lady," too--multiple bags for multiple reasons. I could use a cute, small, travel sketching bag myself, though...

Don't worry Claire, my EDM for may posts are the same way. Interwoven in with other stuff that has come up. I just love the little jeans bag, and your painting is darling. Have a great weekend.
