{"product_id":"fern-tote","title":"Fern Tote","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe patterns and colours of ferns are a constant source of delight for me. This is Fishbone Water Fern or Blechnum nudum, found in all the eastern states of Australia. My design was developed from a photograph I took at the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden. \u003cstrong\u003eThe price you pay, minus packing and shipping, will be donated to WIRES, the Wildlife Information Rescue and Education Service.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bag is unique - I will not make another the same. The design is applied using Lumiere pearlescent paint, then ironed to set it. The free-motion machine quilting is first used to outline the painted design, then the background is separated into 4 quadrants with different fern-like designs in each quadrant - fern croziers (unfolding fronds), climbing ferns, fern leaves and rock felt ferns (in clockwise order from bottom left). The back is a batik of flowers, quilted with a climbing ferns pattern. The lining is a legitimately-sourced Aboriginal design involving kangaroos, and the quilting can be seen on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the fabric is cotton and all the stitching and wadding is cotton. Gentle cold water washing is recommended, then drying in the shade. It can be ironed on a cotton setting if necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bag measures about 32 cm long x 36 cm wide. The handles are both about 47 cm x 4 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Kindly Tortle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51137426653490,"sku":null,"price":65.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/3150\/0338\/products\/0yRPtf7nNl.jpg?v=1703738828","url":"https:\/\/madeit.surf\/products\/fern-tote","provider":"Madeit Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
