Hand painted decoupage vintage suitcase

From VictoriaPandora

This sturdy vintage suitcase was found in near perfect condition and designed for the great escape.
Whether you are running away to the circus or just need a place for your cat to sleep, this suitcase is heirloom quality and can be handed down for generations.

I discovered this artists work when I found her work from this collection that was featured on etsy. I simply adore her use of the beloved suitcase! As a cat lover myself how charming is this? In fact she, has inspired me to take my hand on a tarot table, my husband and I talked about it yesterday and after I finish up my projects that are in my studio right now(violin case, deer antlers and my first shadow box suitcase) then I move on, we have a few ideas.

"My love of creating things out of other things borders on insanity...Seriously! I am absolutely addicted to thrift shops, garage sales, attics and basements. Other people may see worthless junk but I see everything as something."



"Hours upon hours are spent rummaging and salvaging, searching for that lost and forgotten thing (treasure to me) It has even protruded my dreams. Endless thrift shops and old homes full of curios, trinkets and vintage suitcases! My love!"

Magic egg traveling bag to hold tarot cards and other pagan goodies-Dargons and Wizards

LOOKING FOR A TAROT CASE THAT HAS A FERTILITY   and masculine influence ?

 MAGIC EGG  Wizard Dragon BAG

I really enjoyed making this egg bag. I don't usually work with wizards or male influenced images, but I had made a box for my son that used a wizard and some ancient medieval alchemical symbols and when I saw this vintage 1960s egg case somehow the wizard and these wild dragons seemed to fit. As we know lizards or dragons lay eggs, so I guess it does fit. I really like the inside image of the universal depicted as an egg. 

I know that their are many male tarot readers out there, perhaps this might work for them, I liked the fishnet being pulled to expose the image, In this case I did not varnish over it , as I usually do, I love the tactile  nature you receive when you rub your hands over it.

Description :
unusual vinyl blue 1960s egg shaped luggage bag has been transformed into a special tarot carrying case with wizard and dragons. lavender fish net is on both sides which reveals the image of a wizard with hands outreached over a volcano and his familiar the dragon. Small glass mirrors and gems are sprinkled threw out and the outer edge is lined with vintage strung pearls. I am selling this bag for $49.00.

finished up project that I left unattended for too long!

This is a suitcase that I had while owner my gallery put this crazy long faux fur on top and never did another thing with it, something that I don't generally do, I tend to complete my projects. So I finished it up. I had recently finished a commission with this great 1960s vintage floral fabric and had a few scraps and thought it would look good with this wild fur. I love pink and blue together. I used allot of blended glitters and did the inside as well. All together I have about 12 hours or so in this recycled train case made from leather by Neevel.

From funkyfindzonline

1960s vintage floral fabric is combined with pink leopard print, VINTAGE wall papers, bright fuchsia lace trim, crazy fun long soft gray and pink faux fur and wild hot pink vintage pink handle. This is a leather hard shell Tour-Lite by Neeval that I have up-cycled and made into this great piece for the fashion edgy gal.
INSIDE FINISHED ON THIS CASE!!
These small cases are getting harder and harder to find. The inside is finished off with matching fabirc and glitter accents. Soft pink heart adorn the face, lavender vintage plastic tied beads trim to front edges.

Nancy Drew custome order

THE MYSTERY OF THE BRASS BOUND TRUNK

INSPIRATION for this commission Nancy Drew suitcase.

The process

I sold this Nancy Drew suitcase to a school out in California, later I had an inquiry in my mail box from my main funky findZ on line store asking if I could make another nacy Drew suitcase , this was from a sister who wished to give it to her sister who is a Nancy Drew fan. she had favorite book covers and had a very special fabric which I scaned and made prints , I have provided it here for a free image to toerhs who love Nancy Drew. She wrote me a letter expalining how special this fabric was to her, I did not have the heart to cut it up . I used quite a bit of this in my design, loving the blue.

FREE TO COPY!

The two cases are very different, yet I enjoy them both, admittedly , and it is clear to see , I spent quite a bit more time on this second case. I applied allot of acrylic paints and finished off a brass look with gold pearlized paints.

First Nancy Drew that sold to education foundation in California
