Painting on canvas bags




This is a mixture of napkin art and painting, and is a wonderful way to use your creativity to make really useful art. I first learned how to decorate canvas bags in a workshop with Sharon Townsend, and I haven't been able to stop since! You can really let your creative juices fly with this one - there's no set pattern. I've got seaside bags, chocolate and wine bags, baby bags, cute and cuddly animal bags ...You'll recognise my friends out and about, as they all got a bag for their birthday last year.
