The crow bag



This is a black cotton bag I made with my latest crow stencil. It was a present (what else ^^). I cut the crow silhouette out of freerer paper with a very sharp paper knife. I got two stencils, the crow itself and the outer part. I used both stencils. Just ironed the freezer paper on a piece of fabric (black dense high quality cotton) and then paint it over with fabric paint.


The pictures are not the best, I nearly forgot to take any at all! ^^

For the quote of Samuel Beckett I also used freezer paper.

The first time I heard this quote was on the conference "25th years of HIV". It was given after a lecture about the latest vaccine trial which didn't functions but gave a lot more insight to the virus and its interactions with the host cells. Therefore even being a failure at this point in the end it may be useful for the research of another vaccine or better medical treatments. Although the quote is not in it's meaning special for scientic reseach it suited at that point...

...and for myself it suits for a lot more in my life. In a good way, after all :)

And last but not least: I like the work of Samuel Beckett!


I hope you get the idea of the little colourful circles. I liked them! The bag parts were sewed together in the end. There are two layers on each side so this is an easy but very durable bag. Perfect for books! ^^
