Paper Bag Princess

Season's Greetings From Daria
Happy Holidays From Kate


Merry Christmas Lovelies,

I suppose I'm a day late on the delivery but better late than never. I hope you're all lazing about in your pajamas recovering from a turkey induced coma. I was pretty well dragging my feet to the computer today. Sometimes you just need a break to be with your family, mostly to be with yourself. I decided to share my very green conscious gift wrapping idea that I delivered yesterday to my loved ones.

I stumbled across some paper bags in my Mum's kitchen and loved the idea of painting some beautiful high fashion images on them. Searching through my old British Vogues I found some gorgeous references of Daria Werbowy and Kate Moss to adorn the bags. Turns out these might be one set of paper bags that don't get tossed in the garbage.

Also, just wanted to thank-you for your emails regarding the 'Illustrators Drawing Illustrators' project posted below. Your feedback has been SO positive and has gotten me really excited for this. For those of you who have not emailed me yet to confirm, please do by Dec 28th!!

Ciao for now,
Meag xx

P.S. Check out the AMAZING illustration Veronika did of my friend Jimmy and I here on Notes To Self. This has got me so pumped for the 'Illustrators Drawing Illustrators' project. Thanks again so much Veronika I absolutely love it!!

    This is greeeat! I love idea of using different materials to draw on as am a bit hyper sensitive about the amount of paper I use. I try to use every paper on both sides! :-)

    If I had received a Christmas present in one of these bags I think the present would probably get ignored, I would be too busy admiring the bag, what a brilliant idea Meag!

    Oh what a wonderful idea! Well I'm all for recycling, and it's even better when art is involved! Plus you saved a fair amount of money by not having to purchase a bag from a shop too and it makes it seem so much more personal this way :) These are some beautiful illustrations!

    Ah Meagan your loved ones are very lucky to get such thoughtful and beautiful works of art. I'm so excited for the Illustrators Drawing Illustrators! Thanks for letting me participate and for your very sweet comment at my blog =) I'm studying Interactive Media at NTU in Singapore. Still have 1.5 more years to go! You'll be graduating in May? That's coming up in no time!!! It seems like you took a leap from Commerce into the Arts field? I was previously from a different field too - took a Marketing Diploma before this. Catch up with you again Meagan!

    Meagan, as usual these are stunning! What a beautiful gift idea for the Holidays! I'm sure the recipients of such lovely wrapping must have felt honored. To answer your question, no I have not been to London, or to the East, lol, or any time in the near future. I am just a dreamer. Looking forward to the Illustrators Drawing Illustrators!
