    I love them :) do you make the actual bags? or do you buy them and paint onto them?What paints do you use? I used acrylic on one of my bags and that worked quite well however on my trousers half of the pattern washed off. :(

    I can't sew very well, so if I sewed the bags myself they would never get done. I bought them from a wholesale company in bulk. I use fabric paint for the actual image, and then I seal the inside of the bag as well with a coat of white fabric paint. ;)

    thanks guys. I always wonder if the bags fit into the craft section or the art section... but the line there is sometimes fuzzy.

    I did all the zodiac signs... from capricorn to sagitarius. There are pics of all of them on my site.

    You do great work! I love them :)

    And your right about the fine line between "arts" and "crafts".

    Peace

    here's a thought
    i don't know if you are familiar with chakras or not but painting chakras would be a really cool idea for your scarves
    instead of wearing them, one could hang them in their alter space or meditate near them. a way to balance and focus. here's a good link with the designs
    http://www.kheper.net/topics/chakras/chakras.htm

    also, doing krishna designs would be excellent as well, like an om, i would definately buy one of those

    just a thought

    They are both craft and art. Much craft is art as well. Great work.
