Eco print tote bag I made 伴我萬哩同行百寶袋

Over the Easter weekend I made the tote bag with my eco print silk fabrics. Isn't it a nice set with nuno felt scarf? Leaves prints with Eucalyptus cinerea are always my favour as they give very bold and pretty red.

我鍾情於這特別品種的桉樹Eucalyptus cinerea, 做過不少實驗, 在復活節假期為自己製作一個百寶袋伴我萬哩飛行. See lots of my experiments. Some are dyed with rust iron and onion skins.

Thanks for CC who gave me the pink fabric which is strong and thick enough. I find it's good to make a tote bag with my silk eco print.


I made it from bottom to top. The base is sturdy with double-layer. Finished with lining and inner pockets.



I love eco prints. So natural and subtle. People do not know eco print may not like such marks. Particularly this one with black marks of rusted iron effect. They may find them dirts or stains.



I made it more functional, with inner pockets - for pens ..... for mobile.....for journal.... for folders.....What's more? To carry my iPad for my travels.

Mogi, "anybody watching me ?"

Mogi, "has mum bought me some snacks?"
Curious Mogi !

This tote bag I intended to make for my thousand miles travel...... from here Hong Kong, the Pacific to the North Alantic Portugal central highland for the residential felting week then to the UK to meet friends. So excited to join the workshop of Clasheen by Nicola Brown and meeting the artists in June !!!

六月初我將會去葡萄牙中部高地跟隨Clasheen by Nicola Brown 的羊毛工作坊及後去英國訪友聚舊. 從此岸太平洋到北大西洋, 這個手提袋伴我同行萬哩.....
