Fall 2009

Made from a pennant from a race...

My husband went up to Hayward, Wi last year to participate in the Kortelopet race with all of these cross country ski buddies. He brought back his number pennant and I was immediately inspired to my a handbag out of it. It took me 8 months to do it , but here it is!

New Book Covers - small and large

I made these book covers with composite notebooks and smaller nice notebooks for people like me sho love to have a notebook on hand to create, make lists, take notes and draw ideas. I put a pencil holder on the side to help keep the book closed.

Sometimes I work in shifts where I only think of color, texture & shape of the bag. There are days where all I do is design the focal point of a future handbag. Lately I have been really enjoying using different colors that I normally won't use. Or sometimes I say to my family pick a fabric or pick a color combination. It's kind of like a challenge. One thing that has taught me is that I can work outisde my limits of what I think would be beautiful and the project usually turns out great! It is better yet when it sells.
