I shared my enjoyment of novelty bags recently, sharing my Watering can bag. In a recent 10 things to do when you feel disheartened about blogging post, I suggested doing something in a different way to prompt creativity. (I should add, I am not feeling disheartened about blogging, I just thought I'd practice what I preach) So..A little while ago, I thought it would be fun to brainstorm and try drawing some designs for some novelty bags myself. I love being creative and trying to use my imagination so though it would be a fun activity and I certainly found it to be so. Please note, I am not an artist- the skill, artistry, perspective and all that jazz on this lot are lacking muchly but I thought this would be an alternative method of compiling a blog wishlist!

The Peapod:
I like the idea of a pod shaped bag with a handle formed of large green beads. Either it would have a cartoon appearance like the New Look, made out of vinyl OR I wondered what it would look like it is was made out of sequins. Covered in pea-green sequins, beads included. The bag would have a baguette bag shape with a zip across the top.

The DIY Speech bubble
This would be a flat clutch bag made out of shiny PVC. It would have white poppers on it and it would come with a bag of alphabet popper buttons. You could then customise it everytime you wanted to make your bag look a bit different! I could imagine this as a quirky Fashion blogger's delight!

The Piano satchel
The shape of an upright piano is very akin to a satchel- the piano lid a bit like a flap so I imagined this would be a very simple quirky bag to make. I would have left this in classic black and white leather or even patent black leather but I'd lost my pencil sharpener by the time I'd coloured this one (completed last) so quirky pink piano it was! The ultimate coup on this bag would be if you could have one of those terrible sound chips like you get on piano cards, so you could actually make sounds on the keyboard.

The Barrel:
I imagine this made out of classic brown leather with black patent bindings. This one would be a SOLID-framed bag and it would unzip in a circular zip at the top and could hang off your shoulder rather undaintily. This would look very apt if teamed with a dress with champagne glass print on it. Or novelty cocktails. You catch my drift?

The Life-ring
The perfect accompaniment to any nautical-loving girl's outfit, the Life-buoy (I'm an idiot, when I drew it, I meant Life-ring...) , with its circular (Cylindrical) zipped frame and tastefully contrasting rope handle would be great fun! It would, of course, be in solid colours rather than my artistic impression, it would have more depth than my picture implies and be likely to be made out of your typical New Look vinyl.Not sure how the middle would work- probably coloured black (or white) rather than being an actual hole although a hole might be quite fun!

The Steering Wheel
And if a life-ring isn't nautical or camp enough, then surely a Steering wheel would guarantee you a place in the navy! Again, this wouldn't have cutouts, it would have to be an image on a flat surface of the back but it would definitely be shaped around the outsides. It zips uptop and would be the perfect blogger accessory!
What do you think? If you saw this in New Look, Asos, Kate Spade or *insert other shop of choice", would you be tempted? Any improvements???
