Not just a Dragon! Not just a Fly!

As promised - we here at maria + bea never fail to deliver on a promise - below is another peek at one of our handmade tote bags.  The design for this bag started as something quite different, but we are thankful for happy accidents.  That happy accident produced a happy smile on our faces and we hope it does the same for you.  
This bag is 12" x 12" and constructed of reused fabric with a felt applique, embroidered flight line, interior pocket, and of course the embroidered maria bea signature.  To avoid being redundant I won't mention that all our bags can be found at Smith in Southampton.  I also won't mention that you all should visit the store if you have the chance.  Whew, I'm glad I didn't have to mention all of that.  Until next time, be well everybody!

p.s. - If you are interested please follow our link to see more pictures of this bag.

More Tote Bags for Your Eyes!

It has been quite a while since our last update, which is the bad news, but the good news is we have many new happenings.  First, we finished another batch of tote bags, which are once again for sale at Smith in Southampton, NY.  We will be updating the blog with pictures of the new batch every few days for the following weeks to come.
The first of our new creations is a 12" x 12" blue plaid bag with a skull and cross-scissors felt applique, interior pocket, and embroidered signature on the inside.  For more photos check out our link to the left.




In addition to the new bags we have added a few fine art pieces to our Flickr page, some are collaborative and some are not.  At the right is a one line ink drawing on paper created by Amanda.  

Hope you enjoy our new work, we will see you very soon!
