Ode to the bean bag
These caught my eye yesterday - sturdy little bean bags. I have some similar bean bags in the studio that are about 6 x 8. Made of wonderful striped, vintage ticking. I filled them with dried peas, if I remember rightly. They are very heavy and extremely useful. I have at least half a dozen of them which I use for propping up books, weighing things down while they are glueing, holding things up from behind for photo shoots, holding open vintage books - you name it. One of the most useful things in the studio. These very cute ones are from here.
