Nature Scene Tote by Lorna Miser
A truly upcycled piece of usable art. The nature scene begins with a canvas drop cloth that is hand-dyed. The trees and foliage are embroidered on the surface, adding 3D texture. The base of the bag is bicycle inner tubes. Measurements are 14" wide x 12" tall x 4" deep with a full zip closure at the top and plenty of inside pockets. Handles are nylon webbing. The bag is reinforced within to stand rigid and upright.
Lorna designs and creates purses, wallets, garments and more using upcycled* materials. Quilts, linens, curtains, leather coats, marketing banners and inner tubes are all rescued from landfills to become something new and beautiful and useful. She uses a 50+ year-old industrial sewing machine to manipulate these thick, challenging materials.
