All my pottery is handmade of earthenware clay, thrown on the wheel or hand built and embellished or textured, glazed and fired in my studio. All pieces are totally unique and one of a kind.

My artisan quality, highly scented candles are made from 100% soy wax and hand poured, one at a time. Candles made from soy wax are a sustainable alternative to paraffin candles (paraffin being a petroleum-based product.) A cleaner burn, a cleaner world. Little by little, one light at a time.

July 2008 Challenge Entry - Brighten Up Your Shopping Day Tote Bag by SherryReneeW

2008-07-10T09:13:00.000-07:00

I made a tote bag to Brighten Up your shopping day! I am trying to "Go Green" and I thought making and using tote bags instead of plastic could be my small way of contributing to the enviroment.

I'm throwing in FOR FREE a bag that I made out of recycled plastic bags. Check out this link on plastic and it may make you think about the use of plastic too! http://www.poconorecord.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080506/MULTIMEDIA02/80505016

I made the plastic bag by fusing together plastic bags and then sewing the strips together to make a stronger and resuseable tote bag.

The bright fabric on the tote bag is machine quilted to a piece of white flannel and then is lined with a piece of black fabric. All seams are tripled stitched except for the handle which is stitched a ton of times for extra security. I have put a piece of elastic at the top of the bag and sewn a button on in case you want to close it up.

All items come from a smoke and pet free home!

Thanks for looking and have a great day!
