Om Nom Nom....

 I am an 80’s junkie! From the music & movies, to the poofy bangs (Hey, you know you loved them!), the 80’s were a fun decade. Okay, so maybe the poofy bangs didn’t survive, but Pac-Man certainly did! It is quite possibly one of the most popular games in history. And what better way to pay homage to the game I spent a good fraction of my childhood playing than with this handbag! Ah…sweet memories! 
Here’s the skinny:
I really had a blast making this handbag, for I jammed to nothing by 80s music for inspiration. In order to get the screenshot I painted on the basket just right, I played Pac-Man many many times! See? Who says playing video games isn’t work? I think I developed a bit of carpal tunnel from it, but it was well worth it! 
Pac-Man, Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde, are made out of Shrinky Dinks. I wanted to keep them as retro as possible, so I designed them to be pixelated. Old-school! Don’t you just love it?

And look at that?  This little puppy is GEEK APPROVED!  Say it loud and say it proud, my Friends!  


The Pac-Man purse shown in these photos now has a happy new home in Greece, but I can make a custom order for you, should you wish.  Just contact me for more information HERE.


Current lead time for MADE TO ORDER items is 3 weeks.  


Well, now it’s time for me to go play more Pac-Man, folks! ;) But before I go, please know that nothing but pure TLC will go into making this purse for you! You can use it as a purse, handbag, tote, lunch tote, makeup carrier, anything your heart desires!
This basket purse is truly a one of a kind piece and is perfect for the ultimate Pac-Man fan!
