Funky handbags
Yes! I remember weaving bracelets from gum wrappers, and these bags look fabulous!
The photographer says :
"Funky handbags made from recycled candy wrappers."
CSBAG HANDBAG checkerboard skeleton bits & glitter
Here's another bag using recycled materials. The artist has this to say:
"CSBAG HANDBAG checkerboard skeleton bits & glitter
available at: estudiomartita.etsy.com
Fabulous glitter added to the design!
The design of this handbag began with my desire to recycle artwork. The poster board had images of skeletons I used in teaching a children's art class. When I began cutting the board into pieces, I quickly noticed a checkerboard of colors and patterns. Playing with the colors and designs, these became the basis for the handbag design. If you look closely, you might see some skeleton teeth, an eye or parts of a smile!"

White and Red Tape Measure Purse
Here's another view, in another color combo. This one is quite striking. I like it.
The photographer tells us:
"Measuring Up" is a purse I made from colored tape measures and a vintage tag from a pay scale.
This piece was meant to capture the implicit beauty of typically overlooked day-to-day objects, specifically the seamstress/dieter’s tape measure. This object has long been a source of both pleasure and pain in a woman’s life. In its new form, the measuring tape creates a fully functional purse or clutch that can still be used for last minute gauging.
For more information about my work please see my profile.
Red Tape Measure Purse
Okay, this is one of the coolest bags I've seen in awhile. Wow--innovative, and right there with the seatbelt bag (which is one of my faves).
Here's what the photographer says about this bag:

Los Lovers Farewell Bag
Beautiful...
Originally uploaded on January 26, 2009
Photographer's note on this bag:
Inspired by an illustration of famous Mexican master printer, Jose Guadalupe Posada (b1852 - d1913), Los Lovers Farewell has been updated with a splash of bright colors and metallics from fabric and paint.
Quite a romantic display is going on here. The original image was meant to depict a revolutionary going off to war. He is offering one last kiss to his love with the hope he won't be forgotten in death. If he triumphs in war and life, he hopes to return to her soon.
Hmmmmm....quite a breathtaking display...
