Catbus bag
Today I sketched and carved Catbus. He's one of the characters from the famous and popular Japanese animation studio, Studio Ghibli.
... I mixed up colours ...
... and printed on a really nicely-textured linen that I brought back from California in my stash.
I'd bought a twist-clip-frame on line from U-handbag, and used Lisa's amazingly detailed and accurate instructions to make this make-up bag.
It's a 20th birthday present for my best friend Dace's gorgeous daughter, Halina, who is Ghibli-mad.
Ta-da!
It's lined in creamy leatherette PVC (which was ever so slightly a teensy bit tricky ... and involved just a teensy bit of swearing).
I reckon I need a room of my own ... just look at the mess I have to clean up — and it's mine, all mine!

Are you taking orders?
You are so clever... that looks incredible. She'll love it.
So cute!!! She'll LOVE it! - and the answer to Natalie's question is YES!
You are so clever! I know I keep saying it - but you are!
Just love the purse and catbus as well, very impressive. Shelley
Oh wow, that is amazing! I've been meaning to buy some bits and bobs from U handbag for absolutely ages now, I would love to be able to make things just like that, although I am most definitely not up to the printing malarkey, that is just wonderful! I think she will absolutely love it - and you *definitely* deserve a craft room all of your very own.
How's your ear situation?
Meanwhile, this bag is so utterly fabulous I can't even believe it -- and your carving is perfect! Hope you're planning to do a lot more catbus printing. And hey, if a teensy bit of swearing resulted in such a perfectly fit lining, then it was allowable!
