reduced price GOT FIBER alpaca batik backpack 12x14 great for knitters spinners earth green

Description

This medium-sized, nearly square (12"w x 14" h), flat cotton drawstring backpack has been hand-decorated with a batik alpaca just for you to carry around your stuff. Maybe knitting. Maybe for a large purse. Maybe a little picnic. I carry knitting (and sometimes a book) in mine and I attached a smaller bag inside (thru the handles/strap in the top edge) with a carabiner to hold little things. No pockets or anything fancy, just an open-topped bag with a cute alpaca! Great for grownups or children!

It has been stencilled with soy wax for the dye resist, dyed with procion dye, washed & dried, hand-painted with features & heat set. Wash the first time by hand or separately with warm water--should be quite washfast after the first wash. I purchased the bag premade. The bag is a rectangle with an "open" top--the casing of which contains the two sets of drawstring-ropes (also cotton & dyed to match the bag) that become the back straps as they are anchored to the bottom corners of the bag with grommets. It would be wise to handwash in the future (this is for the bag, not for the batik).

These match my batik t-shirts that are very popular with knitters and spinners and sheep-owners. I also make the shirts & bags with sheep, alpaca, goats, bunnies, llamas & dragons (I am also in SCA). Each of the shirts and bags is slightly different--I aim for a non-even, more-unique, dye job, so there are often lovely variations in color over the piece.

This bag does not have the name of my etsy shop on it, just the alpaca. :)

From my smoke-free, cat-friendly home.

I am testing the "market" for larger bags and I have two more of the backpacks that I will be listing soon! Convo me if there is something in particular you are looking for, or if you have any questions... :)
