Whenever I turn up to my bookmaking workshops I am usually laden with lots of samples etc in a big crate. I've always hankered after a suitcase instead and then my lovely husband bought me one in a second hand shop. It wasn't great, but hey, it was a suitcase and so cheap that the fact that I might hack the innards out of it made it perfect for me. In truth, the interior was falling to bits so it needed collaging with something to keep it in one piece!. I know the idea of collaging a suitcase is not original. I know using maps for it is not original and I know adding ships to it is not original either.... but I care not a jot because it is now varnished and ready for duty next term and I love it.

Right up your street eh? Just the job - well done Roy and you too for the refurbishment.
It's fabulous and on Friday I did the exact same thing to A suitcase I picked up in charity shop last year. Mine is lined with wrapping paper featuring bottles of wine... Enough said! I've got brooches displayed in it for open studios.
Looks great!
That is such a good idea! I have a couple of lovely old cases with nasty insides and now I am inspired to bring them back to life.
Gorgeous as ever. XX
Lovely. Actually, it looks like a jolly nice suitcase, very sturdy.
Love the contrast between the dark outside and the bright lining.
Two words - perfect and brilliant!
Lovely job Lesley, I want one. May have to visit a few charity shops and a car boot sale now...Steph.
