Leaves painting tote bags 植物印畫布袋製作

 

Playing with botanical prints with different leaves, I painted the scenery...... 

 

 Assorted leaves give shades but I wanted it with "living  things".

 Cut the cow shape on a leaf......

 A Mogi shape on another leaf

 I set four pieces scenery "picture", each with different leaves incl. rose and assorted euc as well pines.  Two with cat shapes and two with cows.

 I cut cow shapes on euc and "India rubber" leaves .

 

After all set on the silk fabrics then bundle boiled for 1.5 hours in clear water.

 

 Cows of different leaves but only the eucalyptus is bold and brown I wanted.

  

 No harm, the other painting with cats are not bad.

 Each of the printing are two folded, i.e. mirror print. 

 Got four pieces of the experiments of "scenery painting", I can't wait to do the tote bags with them. Grasped the cotton fabric, cut it, sewed it..... all done in the weekend......

 with his supervision

 The four tote bags, 2-sided and reversible. Same size, each 36 cm x 37cm  with lining and 2 internal pockets.

 Tote bags for grocery,  book carrier or whatever purposes.

 Love the cats, love the cows. They're my creation inspiration. I recalled the day I visited a friend in Lantau (大嶼山 水口村), there're lots of wild cows.  I just love them roaming  (last post).  Coming Friday I'll go hiking with a group and will be there .  Hope to see some cows again.

 Right after I posted the printing on facebook, a friend Lisa already bought this bag because she loves cats.  Thanks Lisa for making this "fast moving item"

"Mum, it's midnight, I'm tired.  ZZzzzzzzzz"

Until next time.
