5 kudoz

Surf Backpack

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Functional

For: Unisex

Style: Outdoorsy


Materials

dark denim, light denim and rhino fabric, embroidery thread.,

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to make a special backpack for a friend who loved to surf so I designed this for him

What are you most proud of?

The Big Wave came from an old Japanese woodcut and translated very nice to embroidery. The surfboard arrangement came from a suggestion from my husband to stack them up like the NBC peacock--which I found effective. The seagull came from a photograph of of a real seagull..

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Create and enjoy yourself

Thank you, the detail was taxing but I am happy with the results. Id didn't hurt that I had a great image to work with.
