finally, i made something for myself. i've been so busy making bags and such to sell to raise money for college, but i decided the other day that the bag i've been planning for my new school bag since the beginning of june was going to be finally made.

first, let's start with this: last time me and my friends went into the city, my best friend bought one of those loop/andy warhol totes at urban outfitters. for thirty eight bucks. i thought that was insane, but i loved the bag. i decided to create my own, with something that i loved painted on it... a side street in new york.



the original tote, the picture i took in the city that i based mine off of...



this is the front of my bag. i painted the street scene with acrylics mixed with textile medium onto the canvas that i also reinforced with interfacing. it says "baby's coming home no more" from thoroughly modern millie.


this is the inside... the andy warhol one has a few pockets inside and some other nifty little things, but i just put my usual pocket for my phone and some pens inside this one.


however, i did add two bigger pockets to the back. they are perfect for holding my pocket book, my sunglasses and some joy reading.


the size of the andy warhol bag was another thing i liked - it was huge. or at least, to me it was huge. so mine's quite big, too. keep in mind i'm about five foot one.


thanks for looking. :D
