While this is not the best picture; the purse for my CHA Green Gallery turned out fabulous.
I used magazine pages and Earth Safe Finishes Gel Medium to make the fabric for the purse. I did this on a base which can be on old shirt, sheet, jeans.....remember to use what you have, think green! My base was about 14" x 18"; this was enough to make my purse with a finished size of about 13" x 8 1/2".
If there is something you do not like or missed covering part of you base add more pages.
Continue until you have a base fabric you like.Once the base fabric was dried I added color to it with Earth Safe Finishes Shimmer. I used Generation Green Shimmer Translucent Gel Glaze in several colors, it was just enough to add a beautiful shimmer effect to the base while allowing all of the magazine pieces show through.
I will be tapping all of the how to details for this project while at the CHA Winter Show in just a few weeks, with When Creativity Knocks .
When it is available I will let you know.

Looks great! Can't wait to see it in person! Sorry to hear about the pneumonia. I was in the hospital with it in Sept. and it took months to recover fully. Hope it doesn't take you that long!
Love it Ann. It looks beautiful and such a great recycling idea. Can't wait to see your purse up close and personal.
