1969 McCalls Needlework MagazineStreet-sign inspired bags made from lightweight vinyl and self-adhesive plastic and hand sewn. Smaller bags are made with felt.
These are fun, but nowadays people are recycling REAL signs and using them not only for handbags, but jewellry, chairs, and a variety of other things. McCalls versions are cheaper and easier to make though :)

Those are amazing housewares made with recycled signs.
Your stickman is a great way to record a symbolic language! Repeating the "story".
I too loved the housewares made from recycled signs.
