Posted by Picasa
Size approx.: 15cm x 15cm x 12cm Handle: 14cm
These are made with recicled plastics. Each bag is individually made and no two are the same. The zips are os differnt colours but all are linned with cotton fabric. The handle is long enough to fit confortably around the wrist.
Feitos com plasticos reciclados. Cada bolsinha e individual - nao ha duas iguais. Os fechos de correr sao de cores diferentes mas todas as bolsas sao forradas com tecido de algodao. As alsas sao suficientemente longas para usar no pulso confortavelmente.

Recycled, Recilados

I Have just finished these hand bags. They are made with recycled carrier bags (outer) and lined with plain coloured cotton fabric. These have a magnetic clasp.
Acabei de fazer estas bolsas. Sao feitas de plasticos reciclados e forradas com tecido de cor de algodao. Os fechos sao magneticos.

The second image is of the other recycled plastic sheets that I made. Some of these will be used for small notebook covers.
Na segunda imagem estao as outras folhas de plastico reciclado que fiz. Algumas destas vou utilizar para forrar caderninhos.

Mini books/ mini livros


These are the first batch of mini books I've been making (not all of them are here). They came about due to my inhability to throw away anything: in this case scraps of fused plastics and badly cutted paper. I'm quite happy with them and will take them to the next fair.

Esta e a primeira fornada de mini livros que ando a fazer (mas nao estao todos aqui). Surgem da minha incapacidade de deitar fora seja o que for; neste caso restos de plasticos fundidos e papel mal cortado. Gostei dos resultados e vou leva-los para a proxima feira.

Shibori

Shibori set

Shibori back



Shibori front

I have been doing some shibori. I love to do it, and the way I do it, I can have two colours , one on each face of the fabric.

The first pic is of the fabrics once opened ready to be used, but decided to show the fabrics before I set them.

Tenho andado a fazer shibori, coisa que gosto muito de fazer, sobretudo porque consigo por duas cores, uma em cada face do tecido.

A primeira foto e a dos tecidos ja abertos prontos a serem utilizados, mas decidi juntar as outras onde se ve como e antes de serem abertos.

These are some of the little bags I make using recycled plastic carrier bags. The linning is cotton and when with zips, these are of different colours.
