I hand painted this linen with dyes a while back. I wasn’t sure what to do with them because they weren’t really too big. I just had this idea to make tote bags with a little something extra. They still need handles and closures. I’m thinking leather and brass. Sweet.
The red one is lined with lovely silk that Ann gave me many moons ago. The yellow one is lined with white linen. I know I know uncapped lipstick, old cough drops and cookie crumbs. Well it is washable. This was fun.
i dye every day 
I really like the yellow. Reminds me of the rings inside a tree trunk.
love the swirly circles!
Thanks Penny!
Hi Marjorie. It is hard to choose between them. Loooove them both. Definately can see them with leather and brass.
Regards Florence x
Thanks Florence! I think I will have my two daughters pick the one they like. I just remembered I have some very cool vinyl. It’s white, soft and buttery. I’m going to try to paint it and see how that looks. I am really having fun with these.
Lovely bags!
Thank you! So fun making them. Just have to work through a few issues.
Such a good idea! I want one to carry all my Greek books in style.
Which one Laura?
As always, your dyework projects are amazing!
Thanks Karen!
How fun!! I love the swirls on the yellowish greenish one. 😎
Yes me too! The swirls are my favorite part.
