Upcycled Tote Bag Made From Vintage Napkins With A Moon Design
The sun and the moon on a black background - how can you go wrong? I LOVE this pattern! It works both as an abstract modern geometric and as a sun with a sliver of moon design. Love. Seriously. It was a well used pair of cotton vintage napkins, and does have a grey spot over the top piece of the moon on one side that looks like a watermark, but otherwise the fabric's in excellent condition. I've backed the fabric with fusible interfacing so that it will stand up to years of wear and washing. And its strong cotton webbing handles are ready to carry anything you need to get from one place to another in style. Height: 14.5" Width: 15" Gusset: 2" Handles: 24" Thanks for looking and please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Welcome to Found Beauty Studio! This is my one woman attempt to bring a little fun back into the world with bright and functional recycled found object art. I've always been a maker of things. Always. But if you'd told me when I walked out of college with a bachelor's in theatre arts a decade ago in Massachusetts that I'd end up running my own art studio in Burlington, Vermont, I would have called you crazy. I had plans to go on to a successful and illustrious career in costume and set design, and then took a u-turn and worked in program direction and fundraising for nonprofits, and then as a community organizer for local government, and then burned out on the whole 70-hour-work-week-in-a-cubicle life and headed back to art.
Life takes funny twists and turns, and here I am, happier than I could have imagined in the upstairs of a house in the Old North End with my wood worker husband, three fluffy cats, and two turtles (one of whom is fast approaching 30 years old), using my maker-of-things skills to upcycle found materials into new creations. While I do create fine art pieces, my primary love is creating functional pieces - lamps, tote bags, jewelry, furniture, clothing, home goods, planters…the list goes on. I find great joy in taking a used up, forgotten and discarded object and turning it into a one of a kind piece that someone will use and love.
