Sugar Skull

I needed a new tote bag so I bought a plain canvas one for £3.00 from a craft shop.
Then I had the hard task of deciding what to put on it. I initially wanted to do a cross stitch Banksy so I put on soluble canvas and started stitching, but it was too fiddly and frustrating as I had to stitch from inside the bag. And also there was a leak in the conservatory and it rained on my soluble canvas, making it dissolve!
So I decided to use my 'fabric pastels' which I got from Japan. I always like sugar skulls/day of the dead so I decided to alter a photo of one on the internet and draw it onto my bag. I'm quite pleased with the result!
