Simple Photo Tote

December 6, 2011

img_001

As you may know, I really love so many of the Focal Press photography books (especially this one) and have had the honor of guest posting on their blog before about craft photography.  Today a post went up for constructing a simple tote with a photo printed on inkjet fabric sheets.  Seriously the simplest bag you could ever make, and so cute!  …if I do say so myself!  A perfect bag for gifting special gifts this holiday season, or as a gift in itself.  There is no lining, but your raw edges are all encased and safe from fraying.  Head on over to the Mastering Photo blog for the tutorial and more information on using inkjet fabric.

    I love that – as a photographer, I’m always looking for new ways to use photos. This is a great idea!

    Love the bag! The red & white looks a lot like a Jane Sassaman fabric that I spotted the other day! Thanks for pointing us to the Mastering Photo blog – – – on my way!

My mom requested I make this Swedish Braided bread with apple pie filling for her birthday this year, instead of a cake. It smells delicious and I can't wait to dig in! #birthdaytreat #swedishbraidedbread

I decided to make his ornament this year, and while I set out to make a toilet paper roll ornament, he saw white clay and assumed goose, so I made him Lucy goose. He's quite happy, and so am I. He loves our Lucy goose.

I used oven-bake polymer clay (Michael's brand was what I had on hand), acrylic paint (just the craft variety...again, what I already had on hand), and a glossy glaze (Sculpey, which I don't recommend, its gotten very thin since I last used it, it took way too many coats to be the right thickness). The ornament is about 1.5"h x 1.5"w x 0.5"deep. It was really easy to make, so don't say you can't do it. You can.

Taking advantage of my end of year time off from q Taking advantage of my end of year time off from quilting to do a little crafting. I made an ornament for Brice (which I'll share later when it's finished), and then painted these cute little canvases while my paint was out yesterday. You can see individual photos of each of them over on my other account  @christinalanecreates (grouped with the photo like this).

This is another quilt quilted for @jenny.l.barrett I felt Sashy was the right amount of modern and traditional for this quilt top. I was having a hard time picking a design for this but kept coming back to this. It's a go-to design for me and I always love it on everything. I think it ended up being pretty perfect for this. #sometimescrafterlongarmquilting
