| My good friend and co-curator for Dinner at Eight Artists, Leslie Tucker Jenison has her first line of fabric coming out at Fall Quilt Market! I am so exited for her! RJR Fabrics, Urban Artifacts, Quilt with Love |
 |
| Sizzix Fab / Big Shot die cutting machine, the best die cutter on the planet in my humble opinion |
 |
| Enter Hexagons. My favorite shape to cut out on a die cutting machine, and certainly not my hand. These are small and less than 1" in size |
 |
| I bought this purse at a local thrift store, and it was in excellent condition. I taped off parts that I didn't want paint on. Then painted all of pink with white gesso. It is the perfect canvas for my project |
 |
| Creating a new purse with hexagons in Leslie's new fabric line. I am using Liquitex Matte Medium as my glue for this decoupage project |
 |
| It kinda reminds me of those gum wrapper purses. Both sides of the purse will be different. I call it artistic license |
 |
| The other side. Next will be trimming, sealing, sanding, and sealing some more |
 |
| Finished decoupaged purse in 'Urban Artifacts' by Leslie Tucker Jenison! |
 |
| The flip side! This will be on display in the RJR Fabrics booth at Quilt Market in Houston! Hope to see you there! |
Wonderful bag! Great idea.
ReplyDeleteJamie, I LOVE what you did with that purse. I am often in thrift shops and volunteer for one every month and always look at the purses, but never thought about painting them. Such a great idea and great way to show Leslie's fabric. Thanks for the inspiration this morning!
