Original Messy Bags

The Original Messy Bags are hand painted and one of a kind. No two bags are the same and they can not be replicated. They start their life as a large canvas, which can take days to paint, before being cut into pieces and sewn into bags. They are lined with BPA free vinyl and are machine washable.

One of the best things about working for myself & Inkling is that I can set my own hours.⁠

One of the worst things about working for myself & Inkling is that I can set my own hours.⁠
.⁠
It means some weeks I work until 11pm at night and then all weekend too.⁠
.⁠
Other weeks it's school holidays and the days to fill up with the needs and appointments and social lives of the mid-sized humans.⁠
.⁠
Because my brain is the way it is I can't moderate anything, I can't do a bit of this or a bit of that, it's all or nothing all of the time.⁠
.⁠
All of that is to say I am currently in one of the Other Weeks and all of the thinks in my thinker are all used up.⁠
.⁠
THE END! 🙃⁠

Working on some new things and first up is digitising this canvas from 2018. She was called Bloom and I still love her. She was painted back in the days where I still worked out of the garage! You can tell by how light it is at the bottom, closest to the roller door, and how dark it is at the top. 🙃 #startedfromthebottom #justkiddingitwasthegarage #imovedoutandthemrbuiltshelvessoicouldntcomeback

Never Ending Story was a canvas I started painting back in November. No rules, no size, no set colours or shapes or styles. Just paint and keep going. Tomorrow night the last bag, number 143 will go up online in the Original Messy Bag release. Doing whatever, whenever, however has been a bloody delight and I've loved having this never ending roll of colour and pattern to go to when I'm not sure what else to do.
