First Commission
Posted on | July 29, 2007 |
I got my first commission request for the pouches. Shirley McCutcheon (who is in the current issue of Somerset Memories!) asked me to make a bag for her Garmin Nuvi GPS. She preferred blue. Well, I was so excited to start on this project that I have done little else art-wise since she ordered it. This morning, I sent her photos of the front (left) and back (right). It features Vintage Kimono fabrics, a vintage button, and the background is made wit
h fabric that I did some surface design on.
I’m happy to say that Shirley is happy with the pouch. I will be sending it out tomorrow on my way in to my treatment.
Yes, folks, it’s time for my every-four-weeks infusion of the medications that keep my immune system in check, preserving my balance and my hearing. So, keeping my vertigo at bay in time for Art Unraveled is certainly worth the vertigo I’ve had the past two evenings. And yes, this means that I may be a bit less energetic and productive for the next few days, but I am so excited to be seeing my dear friends and to be doing art with them. Lots of girlie arty fun is ahead next week. 
So for now, back to creating!

Wow Fran, you’ve been busy. The bags look great.
We haven’t talked in a while. I think the last conversation dropped off about the time my AC died, the repair man fell through the ceiling and I spent the next few weeks trying to get repairmen to show up. Nice to see your smiling face in the vacation photos.
Will you be going to the Saturday sale at Art Unraveled? Maybe we can run into each other there.
Thanks for entering the contest. Goos luck!
