Printed cotton tote bags for churches – contrasting artwork on yellow
Printed cotton tote bags for churches appear in this March 2019 project for the confirmation work of Jämsän seurakunta. We supplied 100 yellow cotton bags. The design brings together a winding road, three crosses and the words “Tie, totuus, elämä”. The same artwork also appears in the congregation’s orders from 2018 and 2021, on different bag models and colours.
The same artwork across several orders
An order from 2018 carried this same print. Yellow bags followed in 2019, while the later 2021 order included blue and orange bags carrying the same design.
The change of bag colour gave the artwork a different background. The road, crosses and wording remained the shared elements across these separate orders. The 100-bag quantity belongs to the March 2019 project.
A bright background for a simple graphic
The broad road begins near the bottom of the bag and curves upwards towards a hill with three crosses. The words sit to its left, following the open space beside the graphic.
The illustration and lettering share the same dark appearance. Against the yellow fabric, the road remains the largest element, with the smaller words close alongside it.
On the yellow version, the cotton around the print forms a clear border. The long handles sit above the design, leaving the front for the illustration and its message.
