Description Some of you guys have told me I shouldn't be afraid to submit art not related to drawing/painting. So here is my latest project - I tried technique originally from Mexico, where were made Candy Wrapper Bags from candy wrappers. I didn't have so many of them (although I love sweets and I eat them every day x'D) so I made it from a newspaper colored with watercolors. And I made a pencil case instead of a handbag. But I think it went out quite well, don't you think? :3

well you can find these all over the internet - it' handmade and many artists make these bags/pencil cases. the only dissadvantage is that making one takes a LOT OF time... but it's "recycled" so it's economic!Β and if you want, you can purchase one from me (depending on your personal tastes and size etc.) for 15-25 USD depending on the size.

This looks really cool, I think it was a great idea to use watercolors to color the newspaper, this way you can get the colors you want!
Really well made and looks also very durable - what did you use to cover the newspaper?

I can imagine it took ages to finish this! The result is awesome but if you did these for commissions they should be quite fast so that you could get profit from you hard work. ^^

That's right But it's fun! So I decided to make it free for good friends - if they tell me they would want one. Because I already noticed that there are many kinds of people - and some of them hate handmade things x'D And for some people it's just "normal". So I'll do it only for those who would appreciate it
And well, there is one pencilcase coming! Uploading it soon... :3

Oh yeah, isn't it weird when someone doesn't appreciate handmade things... but well, we are all different.
