I bought a trolley bag for work about 2 years ago ( or was it three? Covid made the last couple of years a bit wibbly wobbly!). I looked at some lovely coloured bags online, but they were only available overseas, & I really needed to be able to see if the trolley would work for me to hold my work stuff.
So I ended up with a nice, solid, very functional BUT totally boring black bag from Officeworks. I have always planned to try painting it, so I finally got around to it!
I started by masking off all the zips, and used some spray paint in grey, purple and green.It looked a bit crap, the green was super bright, & the colour was patchy and uneven. But I was not done! I mixed up some acrylic paint with my fabric medium, and started painting. Took about an hour and a half all up, but it was FUN! Pretty damn happy with the result too, the flowers just work over the patchy green. The purple was too bright so I toned it down with a blue- grey shade.
No worries about mixing my bag up with anyone else’s now!
