ποΈ NEW ποΈ
Created using the Hapa Zome technique (also known as "flower pounding") - my new tote bag designs are made with 100% natural pigments on 100% cotton canvas π±
I first hot wash the bags to remove any factory chemicals
Then they get a good long soak in an alum and water solution (this preps the surface to ensure the natural pigments last)
They are then air dried and dry ironed
Next is the fun bit! I arrange the wildflowers and leaves, cover them over with baking paper, and get to work with a ball pein hammer π¨
In total these bags take 35 hours to complete each π±
But it is so worth it for that cottage core, whimsical, and environmentally friendly result π
Honest opinions welcome!
