This fabric-covered box purse is the second example of how going digital can take your crafting to the beyond.
A digital pattern was created simply with a set of digital brushes. Digital brushes are essentially digital stamping tools that allow you to apply pattern and texture onto digital designs.
Once the pattern was created, it was printed onto stabilized cotton fabric and adhered to the purse.
Artist Leah Blanco Williams got down with digital techniques to create this purse. MORE
This Katy Brown chick, a.k.a MuchachaK, this girl's got our bag. And maybe yours too.
Have you seen her stuff? You should check it at her Web site and her Etsy shop.
She's got clutches and totes and jewelry rolls (these are the coolest—little clutch-like bags that unroll to house your jewelry stash. Now your bling can travel in style!). AND, she’s got the most curious little birdie bobby pins and dice earrings.
“I love small bright things, and I thought it would be particularly funny to have people running around wearing birds on their heads,” Katy says. “I also love the birds and dice because they are classic enduring visual themes...birds have made their way into our dress and decor in various styles for ages and ages, and dice are potent symbols of luck and chance.”
We love them, too, Katy, and we also love that you confessed to being a “compulsive carrier of thank-you notes.” Really, there are a pack of thank-you’s in Katy’s bag right now! What will you carry in yours?
