It’s a lucky flea-market trinket that finds its way into the hands of Leslie Oschmann, an American artist and designer who now calls Amsterdam home. Never taking for granted what many pass by, she sees old canvas mailbags, discarded fabric scraps and oil paintings as the means to her artful ends, and transforms each into a work of functional art. Oschmann created this one-of-a-kind tote by stitching together found, repurposed paintings, creating a unique composition of a woodsy, lakeside retreat.
