tote bag GIVEAWAY!

nosewbag

Its GIVEAWAY TIME and I am giving away the canvas no sew tote AND the magazine that it appeared in- the first ever Cloth Paper Scissors Gifts. I was asked to create yardage of painted canvas and of course I created a surface full of messy colorful layers and texture complete with silkscreened pattern. The canvas was then sent to Jodi Kahn who created an amazing tote that instead of sewing, used everyday materials (like staples and duct tape) the bag it truly amazing!

If I wasn't so limited on space right now, I would keep it for myself because purses and tote are my FAVORITE accessory- I cannot have enough of them! But I kid you not- my studio is BURSTING at the seams so I am giving it away to one lucky reader.

  83. Oh, boy... Right now, it's a three-way tie between some huge, twisty, abstract, anodized aluminum earrings; a pair of Aigner leather boots from the thrift store; and my sunglasses. I feel like my slip is showing when I leave the house without them, even in cold weather!

  121. I'm a bag fiend as well - I have a whole array that I have to switch between depending on how big my book and my current knitting project are. I'm especially a fan of tote bags - lots of pockets are great sometimes, but there's something much more... flexible? about just a big gaping container you can fill with stuff and carry on your shoulder.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Sweet! I would LOVE to have one of your bags! Even though I'm a jewelry maker, I don't leave the house without a scarf either on me, in my bag or tied onto my purse! :)

    ReplyDelete
  123. I love the tote and the fabric is just fabu! It's jewelry for me - my arm feels naked if I don't have at least 3 of my bracelets on; earrings are also a must and scarves are starting to feel good again in our cool weather.

  151. Totes and purses are without a doubt my favorite assessories too, but in an effort to be original, I'd have to say earrings. I always make my own and feel naked without them. I'd rather go without makeup than earrings! Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  171. I'd love to have this tote! I'd love it and cherish it and use it always. I don't have many because I rarely find one that I like. My favourite accessory are my earings ;)

  172. This is GORGEOUS! I have two accessories I can't live without- my purse and my walking stick (cane- had a mild stroke in college and my balance never came back!) I'm picky about the style of both :)

  173. Love the tote!! So cannot live without my scarves! Absolutely love them. I work on a construction site and the guys are always giving me a hard time about my fashion statements with my scarves! :)

  174. I cannot live without a little ring made out of a seashell that my husband bought for me in Amsterdam. I love it.

    Oh how I love your work! You are one of my favorite inspirations. I love trying out your projects, but I think I'm only imitating your style. Still trying to come up with my own! Anyway, I love the tote! My accessory I can't live without is a big bag of some kind that is a purse, homework bag (still a student), diaper bag, and all around catch-all for my family. beccas_song AT yahoo DOT com

  180. The accessory I can't live without is a hair band. It's practical I know, but my hair is forever misbehaving and sometimes I just have to pull it up and show it who's boss! Love your art! It's so bright and full of cheer.

    Beautiful! Thanks for the contest! I would answer jewelry in general, but earrings in particular!

  182. L.O.V.E. the bag! I can't live without my headbands. My hair is constantly getting in my face so headbands help keep it out of my way without having to put it in a ponytail.

  183. My favorite accessory is my wedding ring but purses come in a very close 2nd place. I love your blog, I wish I was as creative as you.

  184. I'd like to be that lucky reader!
    My favourite accessory is a Swatch my father, who passed away 4 months ago, bought for my mother. Quite terrible to tell the truth, pink with roses and Cupids and lovers and kisses, but it reminds me of him and of how much he loved my mom.

  185. I love the bag! And I plan to make one of your wreaths for this Christmas. You are really talented! Accesories - I go through phases, such as a real thing about scarves for a while, for example. But the one thing I can't do without is (should that be are?) my silver hoop earrings. They make me feel complete!

    ReplyDelete
  186. Gorgeous bag!!!! Your work is amazing. An accessory I couldn't live without is definitely scarves. I wear them EVERY single day! Even in the heat of summer! Dresses up an outfit, which is perfect because I cant wear jewelry to work!

  187. I love denim skirts, short and sassy, with a t-shirt, I am ready to go.

  193. What a fabulous bag!! I cannot live without my Max Factor foundation. Literally-- I would go without shoes first. If that's not considered an accessory because really it's vital to my existence...I'll say earrings. I feel naked without my earrings.
    what a lovely giveaway.

  194. I love the bag! I just ordered the magazine :) I can't leave home without lipstick. I always have it in my purse or pocket... I am not complete without lipstick on!

  195. Absolutely can't live without my Chapstick, the moisturizing one with the pink wrapper. It just seems to work better because it has a pink wrapper ;-)

    PS- I absolutely love your blog-I check it religiously everyday.

  198. Love your artwork and would proudly show it off by carrying this lovely totebag everywhere.

    I tend to carry everything but the kitchen sink, so big bags are a must for me.:)

  199. Love the tote. Well unfortunely I am a nut for bags. Big bags, little bags, desinger bags. You name it I have just got to have it. I cannot go anywhere with out a bag bursting with drawing stuff. So so want it. I am very bad what am I thinking wanting another bag.
