Watercolor Expressions by Mike Vollmer
I have been painting watercolors seriously since 1984. My initial passion was to paint landscapes and explore texture methods in watercolor. Since 2000, I have been interested in prophetic art after seeing it done as a part of worship during church.

b.bags was born August of 2008 when I, Lora Bunge, decided that I wanted to try my hand at sewing some simple bags out of upcycled and repurposed materials on my "new to me" hand-me-down 1970's Kenmore sewing machine. One thing led to another, and here we are today! All of my handbags are made out of upcycled clothes, fabrics, buttons, belts, bracelets, ties, you name it. I LOVE the concept of reusing materials and giving new life to something that may have otherwise ended up in the dump. And, of course, every b.bag is designed and handmade by yours truly!
