A Bag for Isobel

I wanted to make a bag for Isobel Wylie Hutchison to take on her 1927 expedition to Greenland. For the first time, she was travelling as a botanist.

A Bag for Isobel

Plaited hairmoss, stitched with waxed linen. Isobel Wylie Hutchison Collection, Carlowrie Castle, inspired by the explorer/botanist/writer. A bag to take on her 1927 Greenland expedition, to prompt a conversation about craft, plants and exploration. Based on a vasculum, a container carried by botanists to collect and transport plant samples.
