Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

The Sad Demise of the Pink Bag

OK OK OK I know shopping trolleys get a bad press, but tell me.... when you are struggling through town laden down with bag upon bag painfully cutting into your hands and I trip past gaily pulling my trolley with ultimate ease, who's the fool??
Anyway my fabby friend Lisa bought me one for my birthday a couple of years ago and I loved it, but so many mean minded people laughed at my beloved but rather pink teddy bear trolley!

So after a comment from a friend who shall remain nameless (who I would like noted puts all HER shopping in MY trolley when we go to Ally Pally) said 'well I have to put up with your pink trolley' I decided the time had come to alter it!




So here it is after a couple of days of gessoing, painting, inking and adding bits of pieces to.
I love it! And if anyone is rude about it I will get them in the ankles as I pass!!



Now off to comfort Lisa who bought it for me, she is devastated LOL
PS Please take a minute to check out Katherine T 's blog and have a look at the awesome altered shoe last she created for an online challenge we took part in!
PPS before I get into copyright problems with Heidi the square soldered charm hanging from the 'lock' is her artwork that usual sits on my mantelpiece, but needs to be seen in public!
