Shoulder Bag Art by Jeremy Sedita, Seamonster Workshop
Several years ago a friend of ours, Jeremy Sedita, of Seamonster Workshop, was making truly excellent shoulder bags. He suggested we try printing some cloth with some of my images. He lined the inside of the pockets with the cloth.

Patched up Cushions
These poor old cushions have been abused. We use them outside which means, inevitably, we leave them out when we shouldn’t. They get grubby and fading ensues. Also nasty impossible to remove sticky spots from the gum that drips down from our great big douglas firs in the back garden make permanent stains. I gave them a new lease of life with a patchwork of some of my prints.
I use the Avery iron on transfers that work with ink jet printers. Then I iron the transfer onto squares of old white sheet material. (BTW don’t iron on the floor with only a pillow case underneath your material. You WILL burn the varnish and leave a very irritating brown patch that doesn’t blend in with the rest of the floor no matter how hard you squint, with one eye covered, in low-light.) Then I sew the patches onto the pillow cases using a nice wide and tight zigzag stitch.
The interesting thing is that the transfer stuff is a little bit plastically so the patches are perfect for outside use.
Prints
These are 13 x 17″prints of my tapestry pictures. I use a little bull-clip to hang them on nails so I can easily change them around. The only issue is when the window is open and the wind is blowing a bit – quite often I had to retrieve them. So I have added a magnet on top of the clip, sandwiching it to the an nail.
