on my journey to find pre-loved fabrics with an australian story, to create bags with a story that will then continue with the buyer

    yippee .. and bugger

    Photo_2

    yippee! the delivery guy just knocked on my door: my webbing is back from it's spa trip to melbourne!!! as far as i can see it looks great .. but it did come back with an email ..

    "I will get this tape sent to you but have had difficulties dyeing it, due to it’s weight and stiffness. Cannot be too sure that it is level dyeing so will return as a “No Charge” but couldn’t offer you on-going service with this product, sorry."

    feels like i am back to square one, except that i have 50m of dyed hemp webbing. that makes 30 bags - not enough for future production.

    bugger :-(

    ps: in case you google the word 'bugger' - use the australian definition for it ;-)

    crafted from re-used australian materials, songlines' products inspire you to explore their past and create their future ... bags with a story. the start of the journey.

    the name 'songlines' was inspired by the dreaming tracks of indigenous australians, which are invisible paths across the land (or, sometimes the sky) which mark the route followed by a localized 'creator-spirit' during the dreaming. The paths of the songlines are recorded in traditional songs, stories, dance, and painting ... I want my bags to pass on similar stories :-)
