A gift... and a tribute...
I made this bag in 2004 for my good friend Marie-France.
Marie-France passed away one month ago.
Marie-France was an artist, a painter and an art teacher.
A few days ago, her brother and her sister, who are facing the painful task of emptying her apartment, brought boxes filled with her things to our charity. Among sheets and towels and handkerchieves I found the bag I had made for her. As a colleague was admiring it I asked if she wanted it and she said yes... now the bag belongs to Michèle, my colleague and friend and I'm happy with the idea that the bag will still be useful to a friend...
You can see Marie-France here, in July 2019, as she was painting with her Beaux-Arts friends:
