Preparing MA hand in 20th May 2019


The beginning of my final hand in box, I’m using an ecru fabric box. I have a number of fabric swatches, wall Muriel remaining to add is a tote bag, maybe a smaller tote and a different colour way. I will try packaging tote with a paper wrap around. Needed to complete some wallpapers to match fabrics, also need to test inks that I have made onto swatch fabric.

Hand made Pom Poms


Detail on tote bag, up cycled penny, cotton pom poms and leather tags.

I have made my pom poms by hand using a traditional method using cotton yarn and wool. Crocheting a strap and crocheting poms together linking to tote bag using a small gold clasp and loops. These loops need to be soldered as I have test worn a tote bag and the metal loops stretch out and poms fall off, its the same with the old pennies.
