I have the day off and it’s so nice.  I have a lot of things I could be doing, such as cleaning out the garage; however, since I’ve been pulling doubles at work, I’m forcing myself to just relax and take it easy.  Playing some video games and doing some creative stuff.  I decided to make a hand bag today.  I have an immense love for bags, shoes, jackets, and accessories so I figured I’d try and make a bag.  I had purchased a canvas bag from hobby lobby forever ago and I’ve gessoed some cotton strips to it.  After it dries, I’ll do some acrylic painting on it.

This is a really messy technique so if you try it at home, be prepared!

I’ll post the bag after it’s finished.
