Description
I am old enough to have had to learn to store food without a fridge and before the advent of plastic storage. I just love the way that making something airtight, as well as keeping it cool, allows such lengthy storage!
But I was also brought up to take my own bags /baskets shopping and so have hardly EVER needed a supermarket plastic carrier. I have never understood why some folk find it so difficult to go prepared.
Did they not know they were going shopping? Did they surprise themselves?

fabulous image, Andrea. as for your commentary, I've no clue as to how the other people think - I go into a store with a backpack and even though I have it right there at checkout, I still get asked if I want plastic or paper bags for my purchases....

I have some great carrying bags, but invariably they're not big enough (they're leather, and if they were big enough, they'd cost an arm and a leg), so I have to remember shopping bags inside. In any case, your clips make a great 'dance' of a photo, on flickr, I love the bold clean shapes and lines and surfaces. This version makes them metallic, with morphing hues, metallic sheen, lots of textures, and your colonies of lines and topographical edges. I like both images equally, and amazing how different they are from each other! And your background, here, is a big electric field of forces and magnetic lines. The day to day, as seen by your living eye...

Hehehe! People often surprise themselves but it seldom ends well. Your imagination never fails to delight. Who would have thought that such humble items could be transformed into art under your hands? Only those who know your work. Great stuff.

Beautiful image and manipulation. Simple things are great models for a real artist! Here is the proof!

Somewhere around 25 years ago I made six shopping bags from denim, with rainbow-colored cotton web handles. They are just now starting to show wear, despite the fact that they've been to the grocery store, the mall, the variety store, and the hardware store hundreds of times. They've held shoes and clothes, odds and ends, bread and nuts and dried fruit while traveling in the car, dog food, towels and shampoo, library books, and anything else for which one would find a bag handy. They've been through the wash countless times. I have probably single-handedly saved more paper-or-plastic bags than almost anyone on the planet. When I first started using them, I got funny looks, and people asked why I'd gone to the trouble. Then they started marveling at how wonderful the bags were. Then store checkers went through a phase where they all thanked me for bringing my own bags. Now it's taken for granted. Bill likes to tell people I made them 25 years ago, so now they all marvel again.
Six denim bags. I never would have thought they'd have generated so much conversation!
Maybe in a year or two I'll retire them and make six more. They've certainly paid for themselves!
Oh ... I'm quite sure I forgot to mention your fun and colorful photograph, because your presentation was so inspiring! :P I like your postwork very much. You've given a humble and functional bit of kit new life and fame!
