Small Scale Recycling

I might take some of our Tin sculptures to Bovey Tracey. Mostly made from various drinks tins, champagne cork and wire.

Absenteeism is not the way forward. .

Oh Dear! Oh Dear! (in the style of the White Rabbit), poor neglected blog. It is very easy to slip into decline and ignore the need to post.

After a verrry long absence, it's time to pick things up again at the speakeasy (the name wasn't meant to be ironic). Yes, Bags are still in production - very much so. After a busy 2009, we are hoping that 2010 proves to be as hectic.

We are delighted to announce that Dr Bean's Bags will be appearing at the Contemporary Craft Fair, 11 - 13 June, at Bovey Tracey in Devon. This is great news and we are really looking forward to being there. Of course this means that we really have to keep on top of things. . .

New Bags

Here's a  a couple of pics of new Bag and Lining colourways. The cheery lining fabrics are looking good and the black canvas has a certain sense of style that contrasts well with the natural canvas Bags. We've fitted the black Bag with a brass eyelet and shackle, which is rather classy. And, I guess, the black canvas won't show the dirt.

We'll add the black option to the website soon. (Once the Festival is out the way, probably).

New website is open

We would just like to announce that after a slightly longer time than we anticipated, the 'Dr Bean's Bags' new website is officially open - with a shopping facility. Hoorah! 

We can also say that we have been incredibly busy with sales (and, therefore, making) which is our excuse for a poor showing on the posting front. There are some new bag ideas and styles in the pipeline, so when we get a spare moment, we'll add these to the site.

Finally, Dr Bean's Bags will be attending the Garden Show at Stansted Park, Rowlands Castle, in Hampshire, so come along and have a look.

Spring is here at last. .

Perhaps the sunny spring weather has gone to our heads, but we're thinking of trying some alternative linings. . . These work rather well, especially with the natural canvas exterior.

More Alice in Wonderland

We made some bags with extracts from Alice in Wonderland on a while ago, but it's a theme that is worth returning to. We like the way that the strips of text give the bag extra 'body', so that's a good reason to put more on. 

The text is on both sides of the bag by the way, and if we were fully organised, proper bloggers we would have a photo of the other side as well, but you'll just have to take our word for it.

Ok, in the future we will try and show the front and the back. .
