Fruit & Candy Fashion

Natural clay was used for each piece of candy and fruit. The pieces decorated with detail with paint then glazed. The bag is wooden with special hardware.

This is the back of the bag and the stripe runs under the bag. The stripe takes a while because of how colors dry. The local weather makes an impact on drying times for each phase of the bag. The bag itself begins with a color tint on the wood box. Then the stripe is painted on using special painters tape.

The clay pieces are added to the bag using a glaze adhesive that fuses the pieces with the bag. The handle is woven from paracord used in parachutes. The clasp is magnetic and made with strong webbing material. Handbag is perfect on a fun picnic.

This handbag took about one week to make because of the clay and paint drying time.
