A coworker of my dad's went to Ghana for a sabbatical, and brought back some batik fabric scraps for me. Apparently fabric stores are also tailors, and whatever small scraps are left-over from making clothing go into a bin and customers can just take what they want. You can't see much of the African fabrics in this picture, but they inspired the painting I did for the flaps of the bags.
Thank you so much! You can see them in person at Arlington Open Studios, which is October 16th and 17th at Arlington Center for the Arts. Or, y'know, earlier if you want to come over to my house... :)
