Painting Purses Drinking Coffee













I decided to actually read all 700 posts to this blog. My life has really changed since I started Pop Trash Beauty. I was a makeup artist when I started out. Now I started my own business painting bags. I take old handbags paint them make minor repairs and sell them on etsy Pop Chic Boutique. When I started my Etsy shop it was exclusively Vintage bags I sold. Then I was thinking when I get tired of an old hand bag I would do something to it jazz it up if you will.  My friend Corrine when I was coming up with the concept of the shop said " Every bag has a Story"  This resonated inside of me they truly do. When you buy tons of vintage like I do you wonder about the story . Who was the person who owned this item before me. I have a sweater that just makes me happy. There is no Rhyme or reason I just love it to bits. Its teal blue I think the former owner must have been really happy and sweet.




This is a purse I named Maisy she came to me worse for wear 



Filling in the cracks with Mod podge and love

More Mod Podge 



Rough Cut Abstract Floral 
Still needs more love but her makeover is moving along




This is the first purse I painted. I don't think the mainstream world
is ready for my all seeing eye surrealist purse. So I use it people ask me about it .
You have to garner a little courage to carry this one but its worth it
