More to share

Today I was inspired to use the pieces of a purse I had started to make several months ago. I was making a lot of totes, but I wanted something that was more of a purse - with a closure. I started it and then I couldn’t figure out how to finish it. Until yesterday, [...]

Feeling creative again

Thank you all for your kind notes and thoughts over the past few days. They mean a lot.
I spent Wednesday with Angie and her son Max. Max came over to swim and Angie and I got to do some artwork. I was not quite up for doing much, so I just doodled in my journal. [...]

First Commission

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. [...]
