These hand-painted and hand-dyed totes are perfect for potted houseplants, balls of yarn, loaves of bread, and so much more! The options are limitless. Each piece is crafted with a hand-dyed cotton interior, and a one-of-a-kind painted design on the outside. This tote also features an interior pocket.
Care Instructions: The exterior has been treated with a fabric protector to help keep it clean, and your tote can be spot cleaned or dry cleaned if necessary.
As a textile artist, Susan has embarked on a life transforming journey into the world of colour, design and pattern. Working with textiles has become her method of self expression and the focus of her methods of communication. Influenced by an extensive study of line and pattern, Susan is now focusing on combining mark making and stitch in both book forms and wall quilts with an emphasis on a controlled palette. Additionally, Susan creates a variety of dimensional objects suited for gifts and home décor.
She has studied Design, Patchwork and Embroidery with the prestigious City & Guilds Institute of London, England and has studied with internationally acclaimed teachers/quilt makers Nancy Crow, Jan Meyers Newbury, Elin Noble, Gail Harker and Ruth Issett. Susan has also been awarded two Certificates in Art and Design and Textile Design/Decoration from the Gail Harker Creative Studies Centre in Washington, USA.
