Quick Overview

Handmade and handpainted, these little bowls are all complete one-offs, and have been a joy to make.  Some have an idiom or proverb painted along the bottom, and are small individual artworks. Painted with lovely rich blue cobalt powder and using a technique called sgrafitto to scratch out the detail has had me finding my old self again:)

Quick Overview

This fabric design is taken from an original painting I did, playing with many layers of lines on top of lines on top of colour.  Each bag is different to the next, because life's too short to have the same thing as everyone else.

The bags are made from recycled felt - and recycled felt is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles! So consider this a way to help keep plastic bottles out of the landfill.  15 plastic bottles are used per square metre of felt, so one bag uses just over 2 plastic bottles.

23 L x 17 H x 6 W cm

Fronts & backs are different colours, and my little logo of AA is handstitched on the bottom corner of each of them.

Machine washable.

Not lined inside.

Made in South Africa, of course.

Not necessarily only for cosmetics - great for stationery; sewing kits; charger cords & cables; first aid essentials; all the loose stuff floating around in your handbag...
