I turned one of the little orange scrap projects into a phone bag for walks. It's on the left, above and around my neck here...
I like the texture in this bag and the embroidery
There is another hexie spiral in oranges waiting for a few more hexies and to be sewn together
bI took a recipe copier paper I was going to recycle and painted stripes across it with markers and paints, and stamps for fun
then tore it into strips
and more strips
played with the collage, I always pack in too much, on the left above. Painted a couple leaves, then moved on to the next page where I collaged the rejected strips into a sort of tree
one thicker strip will become dh's bookmark
I think I like the sparse tree best
note to self, more negative space, it's not wasting journal pages, it's a "look"
Painted my bowl one morning
puppy feet??

Love your phone bag, as we love everything that you do!
I used to make bags very similar to this. A bit bigger. I think I have one or two packed away. They are so convenient and this bag is very lovely. I love all the orange, especially in the oatmeal bowl. Very nice. It's always fun to see puppy feet. LOL Thank you for joining SITAR and have a lovely Sunday.
You look pretty with the new pouch around your neck, fun little bag. Love the hexies spiral too, and your painting. The lonely tree is wonderful! Enjoy a walk with Alfie! Thank you for sharing and linking up, hugs.
Great phone bag. I have been recycling paper into art supplies for various uses. I use the pages I remove from altered books as "roll off" sheets for my brayer or "paint off" sheets for paint brushes - bonus recycling of the excess paint also.
Nice
Great phone bag. You wear it well! Give Alfie a pat for me. Love his tootsies!
Love the phone bag! The pretty orange hexagons make me smile.
Very cute little phone bag. Those hexagons are awesome. I made just one in pink when you first showed them. It's hanging on my sewing room bulletin board - just waiting for some inspiration on how to use it.
I'm impressed with all your oranges! You'd think, with all the crazy quilting I've done, that I would be comfortable with collaging but I'm not. I always admire what others do though.
Great use of scraps and orange! Your collage is so fun! You have the best ideas!
That phone bag sure looks handy! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
