Crack of Dawn Creations
What to do, what to do, what to do. I had just watched the latest episode of David Letterman and the Sandman was not visiting my neighborhood. So the Green Genie decided to come out and play. The idea of this large mass of plastic floating around somewhere in the ocean, haunts me. Please, Please everyone use your own bags. Make them, buy them, refuse plastic at the store, you really don't need a bag for a carton of milk... But I regress, there are lots of ways to have fun in the wee hours of the morning and this one doesn't want pancakes. I have been saving my bags like a good steward of the earth, but what do you do with them. Here are a few of my Crack Of Dawn Designs. I folded the bag into four layers, then fused the layers together placing pieces of copy paper on top of and below the plastic, so as not to damage the iron. I then painted the plastic with acrylics, sewed the bags in a random manner and creating a quilted look in the shape of a purse. Give it a try it is addicting.

I love that the Sandman also brings along such a yummy idea...so you melt the plastic and then paint it? I am so happy to see the results...howz about the fumes as you heat press?
