Bandolier Bag, Western Great Lakes, late 19th century, broadcloth, wool, cotton, beads, brass buttons
for that one flickr group, really.
There's more junk in there such as random drawings and such but they didn't make it into the picture.
I find it kinda funny how this gets more views than almost any other picture on my photostream..
Turn the bag right-side out, and using an eyelet punch (or a dull pencil, or a not-too-pointy chopstick), push out the corners so they're sharp.
Part of my new piece for Ledbury Poetry Festival.
This shows a bag made out of pieces of very fragile old cotton which I have fashioned into an old fashioned carry all. This was a difficult piece to work as the pieces were an odd shape and had to be handled with care.
It is decorated with hand and machine embroidery and an image from an old book.
It shows the choices faced by a young Elizabeth Barrett Browning, who was living at Hope End, Ledbury, at the time.
Should she continue a life as an invalid, educating herself by reading, or should she have a conventional life of a girl of her back -ground and aspire to marriage.
Knotted crochet cotton and an old button complete the piece.

Here is my entry for Round 6 of MELO over on MOCpages. This creation depicts the scene from the Battle of Five Armies where Bilbo, after his long adventure, returns to Bag-End as his house and belongings are being auctioned off! Hope you enjoy!
Heh, this is a poor late night photo, but I was going to clean out my bag when I remembered the "What's in your bag" pool.
I feel like some of the bags in that pool are a little too clean to be what was actually in their bag. :-p So here's what was really in my bag before cleaning it out.
The inventory:
- Toshiba laptop and power chord
- CSS Mastery by Andy Budd
- DOM Scripting by Jeremy Keith
- graph paper notebook and a few documents from work
- My old weekly status folder from work with some more documents from work underneath
- TSA lock w/o key
- Master lock key to and old set of luggage locks
- spare change
- Dell Axim PPC adapter
- Sony headphones
- black white board marker
- ink pen
- Netopia ballpoint pen from the Verizon days
- headphones adapter for my Motorola SLVR w/iTunes
- toothbrush/toothpaste
- Some dice for a family favorite, Farkle. No, I don't shoot craps.
- emergency poncho, we carry too many electronics these days to go without one
- some dog bones my Mom gave me last time I visited home, I still hadn't taken them out of my bag.
Once the bag is cleaned out I'll be sure to reshoot. I need to do my camera bag, laptop bag I rarely use, my bike bag, car cleaning bag, and what goes with me on a trip.
Slept in. Wasn't planning to, but alas.
Bathroom set up was a bit wierd, no shower curtain. Couldn't get water hot enough. Got ready, packed bag (stole the extra roll of tp for my bag, just in case) and headed to breakfast.
Mused over the day, ate toast, eggs, ham, bacon, 'pancakes,' oj and decent coffee. Watermelon, papaya, banana too. Thinking spa? tour? trek? cooking school?
After breakfast I headed to the tour office just outside my hotel. It was more expensive than the one I was looking at the day before, for basically the exact same trip. In the end I walked all the way back to the original dealer and they helped me to plan out the rest of my trip.
Booked a 1 day trek for tomorrow as well as train ticket home (with drop off direct from tour to train station). Also arranged a cooking class for the evening and spa session for today! The spa picked me up from the tour place and I went for a 5 hour spa day. Manicure, pedicure, thai massage, body scrub, milk bath, oil massage, and facial. Amazing.
After that the spa dropped me off at Thai Cooking School. I had class with a Dutch family (Dirk, Karin, Michia, and Nick). Bunny was our instructor. She made us name tags .
We walked to the local market for ingredients. Everyone got to choose slightly different things from the menu. We made different curry pastes with mortar and pestal. I made Phad Thai and Hot and Sour Chicken Soup. We then ate the noodle and soup dishes. Back to the kitchen to use the curry paste to make our curry dish. I made Masaman Curry. We then ate the curry. It was all fabulous food.
Afterwards the owner of the cooking school drove me back to my hotel. His two kids (Pop and Bin (or Pin)) sat in the back with me. Maybe 8 and 10 years old. He sort of forced them to sit with me. Told them to practice thier english. First I got them to count in English and then we counted in Thai. Then ABC's. They attempted to teach me days of the week, and I could repeat them back, but they didn't stick. So cute.
Long day, went right to bed.
This diaper bag is for Sara to use with Lucy and little Miles. It was a cooperative project between Sara and myself. We took my original diaper bag design and updated it a bit. We added a yoke in front and back with some cute gathers, snap top pockets on each end, and rings on the top for the shoulder strap to attach to. The inside has all the same pockets she loves. And the best thing is that this bag has a double ended zipper!
This doctor's bag scene is a roombox I created out of my wish that I had gone to Medical School. My daughter Kelli is currently studying epidemiology so I may give this roombox to her when she graduates, but until then, it is mine. The doctor's bag itself was purchased from Shannon Moore who put in the window and door and lights. The first pic is of the Dr scene from the outside. The next two are the entire scene looking into the bag. Most of the furniture was made from taking apart Michael's hutches and remaking them into the 2 bookcases, an office cabinet and an examination table. There are many little medical items like vaseline, aspirin, cough syrup and cold tablets in the bookcase. I also have added medical tools like tweezers, a syringe, forceps, stethoscope, various scopes, medical books and lots of supplies like cotton balls, rubber gloves, ice pack, hot water bottle, tongue depressors and much more. Also look for the crutches, walker, scale, IV pole with extra doctor's jacket and stethoscope hanging up. On the exam table is a folded patient gown and otolaryngoscope with several xrays. The file cabinet has files of the Dr's many patients and there are a few xrays already being viewed on the light cabinet. Thanks go to Nicki and Wendy for their contributions as well as Jaime, Anamari, Darby and Sherry for their swap items.
Made with a pattern from Chris W Designs. I used some black and white houndstooth canvas fabric and a solid black canvas.
I bought this years ago when my sister and I were in Singapore for a shopping trip one summer. We were wandering around the mall that's connected to the hotel we always stay in, and stumbled across this Japanese place called "Kokon Tozai" that was selling bags, shoes, purses, and all sorts of accessories that were made of old kimono. Normally, I'd be horrified at the thought of using such beautiful kimono in that way, but they actually had a brochure that said that they were careful to make these out of unuseable kimono only ^^;;
My sister and I bought a bunch of stuff, and proceeded to visit all three outlets in Singapore. I can't remember the addresses and the names of the malls the first two were in (but they are places I frequent whenever I'm in Singapore) but the last one is in Changi airport, just at where the check-in counters are.
This one is a gorgeous mustard yellow, with purple ume (plum) blossoms and a teal section that seems to be depicting wisteria, from what little I can see.
(Btw, there are more types, sizes and shapes of bags, but this one happens to be my favourite)
