One day last year I was poking around in one of my favorite shops, The Scrap Exchange, here in Durham NC. I came across a barrel that had a bunch of rolled up vinyl banners that came from our local Whole Foods store. There were about 6 of them , all with different images on them. I bought them all and took them home not really knowing what I was to make from them.
A few days later while looking at one I thought , “these would make great bags!”. I commenced to drawing some sketches, cutting out templates and getting the Singer sewing machine sewing. Realizing that the chances of finding more banners at The Scrap Exchange seemed highly unlikely, I went to the source, Whole Foods. They are now giving me the banners, I am making bags like crazy and selling them not only at the monthly studio openings at my art space at Golden Belt, but Whole Foods as well!
