Native American Red White Black Haida Kitty Crossbody Bag

Put your things in this practical All-Over-Print Tote Bag with a cute Haida Kitty from British Columbia, Canada. The background colour is sea green. I wanted to make some more fun and cute. And I came up with my rendering of a Haida cat, since cats are so popular on the internet. It's frontal face view, which for me is always hard to get it right with the flow of the form-line. Although I'm happy with the result, no doubt that I'll tweak it in the future. Due to my family in British Columbia, for instance Vancouver BC, Haida Form-line art has been part of my life. The Pacific Northwest coast is a beautiful place where I spent some happy holidays and a couple of years ago I decided to learn some of its native art. Form-line is an indigenous art made by the First Nation people of Northwest coast of North America. The term form-line is invented by Bill Holm. We use the word since 1965, but the art is many hundreds of years old. The idea is to create a flowing continuous line with increasing and decreasing thickness. We get negative spaces with a dominant black outline. The negative spaces are filled with form-line type ornaments or elements. The main forms are ovoids, U forms and S forms. With these forms the artist composes a complete form-line.
