Wax Burundi

A little unceremonial to be posting Monday's bag at 2:45 in the afternoon. Still, one lives within the limits of time and space and batteries without early morning charge.


Pulling down my basket of African fabrics from the top shelf; I was able to use a number of favourite colours and fabrics and texture to design today's messenger bag.

Teale and olive green always make me very, very happy and content. They elicit an unconcious sigh from down in my belly. Oh, and did I mention wax batik?! Good enough to snack on.

All this went perfectly with a teale floral upholstery piece I've laid eyes on for a long time but never found the perfect bag for until now.

Pockets galore. I made four on each side on the inside, plus two under the flap.

Even I would have a harder time losing my keys and phone with all those compartments. Give me time- I will. But it might take a little longer.



I couldn't tell you what "veritable real wax" means- is there an Imposter Wax out there somewhere?

In any case, the fabric was gifted to me from a traveller to Barundi, Africa. Lovely piece it is.

12" wide; 12.5" deep.

$25.00 Cdn starting bid.

Auction ends tomorrow, March 2, 2010 at 9:30 pm, cst.
