There’s a wonderful, new handbag that’s not only fun to alter, it’s the perfect way to display your art in public! Imagine being able to share your art, and carry inspiration everywhere you go! Daily Window creates high quality handbags with clear pockets to show off your artwork, share friend’s creations, market your art business, and can even coordinate with your outfit!
I chose to alter their handbag called, “Eight Days a Week”. I used micro-mini beads, glitter, glue, teal metal studs and colored the metal with alcohol inks. Then I made three cards to rotate for the clear pocket. Art stamps used were Layers of Color Signature Art Stamps: Architectural Blocks, Beaded Frames, Fleur Heart, Garden Borders, and Gothic Crosses.
Daily Window is owned by an wonderful Christian gal, Paula, who is enthusiastic about the great creative possibilities of these handbags as a showcase for artist’s artwork. She’s kindly posted my altered bag and cards on her site. Go see her blog and “Designer Gallery of Inspiration ” (remember to mention I sent you)!
Daily Window is a handbag company that offers purses with clear pockets to showcase cards and artwork! Artist, Laura Kirste Campbell embellished the outside of this tote and made 3 mixed-media cards for the window using Layers of Color art stamps. It is published in Stampington's Winter 2008 "Altered Couture" magazine on pages 117-120!
