Moon Bear Cub with Daisy
This bag was auctioned to raise funds for Animals Asia.
It reached £90 on the auction, of which 100% of the profits (£30) went to AA via my Just Giving page.
Image Creation
With the help of ChatGPT, I created this image. Using AI to create an image is actually a lot harder than people imagine - basically, you have to try and paint an image using words. It can take upwards of two hours, and many many failed attempts to produce an image like this.
This image it totally unique to my bag - even I can't reproduce it exactly as every time you ask for a change, you will get a completely different image. AI doesn't understand what it has done, so cannot take an image it has created and reproduce it exactly. For example, if I ask for the colour of the daisy to be yellow instead of white, the entire picture will change, not just the daisy.


Choosing the Right Bag
I have several different bag patterns. For this bag, I chose a pattern by a designer Maggy55 which allowed me to use the entire front of the bag to showcase the cute panel.


Preserving Functionality
Of course, a bag is not just about a pretty picture on the front - it must also be functional. This bags features a zipped pocket at the back, convenient for your mobile phone. And the bespoke feel does not stop with the cute bear panel - here I have embellished the zips with pulls that feature a heart with a tiny pawprint in the middle.


Don't Forget the Lining!
I like to use waterproof canvas for the lining. It costs a little more, but any spills can be easily wiped away and it comes in gorgeous colours like this gold marbled green which perfectly compliments the exterior.
Of course, a bag must have an interior zipped pocket too! Here we have a pop of gold in the pocket as a nod to the moon bear chest crescent.


Putting it all together.
The bag features a comfortable, adjustable webbing strap.
Now we're all dressed up, where are we going?
