    The Evil Eye Market Bag

    I love how striking the symbol of the evil eye is. Beautiful bright colors, symmetry and the history behind the symbol made this a really easy project to design. The Evil Eye Market Bag is funky and weird. I love it. 

    For those who haven't encountered this symbol before, the evil eye is a type of talisman that is meant to protect you from envious glances (which supposedly bring you harm or bad luck). The talisman and the glance are both called "evil eye". To learn more, check this article out.
