Traveling Art Case.

Progress on making the portable art cases is slow but getting there! I made the first one from denim, with it being the first there was some snags like the sewing machine getting stuck, the case not being quite straight and bits of thread sticking out of random places. 
But after the long grueling process of sorting all that stuff out, the second case was made much more quickly and looks a lot neater!

Here is the better case in 3 stages, the first is when it's rolled up and fastened.

 This is the pattern on the back of the case.

This is the inside showing the 3 small pockets and the 1 larger pocket.

All in all I will be selling these at the Ella Street festival this year, not sure how much yet but they will be relatively cheap and in many colors. I have yet to stick on the labels and may even come up with a better name for them rather then 'traveling art case' ... my next idea is to do them in plain white with your own custom designs on them!

Back To Business

After a nice two week holiday in Turkey and a beak away from phones, the internet and tv, it's time to start with some fresh idea's.

To start with i'm gonna remind myself to find photo references to draw from every time it's a detailed picture. The second thing is i'm taking part in the Ella street festival this year with some friends.. having no new immediate artwork to sell, i'm helping my fellow artists by making my own batch of roll up travel cases for pencils, pens, paints ect for the artist that always on the move!

Right now i'm still at the cutting material out stage so i'll have some photo's up soon.. if they are popular i might sell them on ebay or something yah never know!

p.s gonna design a new label for tags.
