Woo-hoo!

Just finished a piece of wearable art, and I think it’s stunning! I had real fun making it, and although it’s perhaps not the best, and I can see ways in which I could have improved the production process, I love it!
Actually, I didn’t ‘just’ finished it, I completed it at the beginning of last week but I have ‘just’ been able to get an image of it onlne, as our digi-cam has bust so we wait for Milesy’s dad to come over with his camera and snap a couple of pics.

I got a real buzz out of making it, and that was after actually completing a set of ‘veggie-leather’ jewellery, which was revelation in itself. I decided I just didn’t like the necklace and brooch set enough, to send it to someone else. No sooner had I made this decision than I had a stonking idea for this bag. Originally I planned to stamp onto the tiles but then I decided that if I used dark enough tiles, the lining would show through beautifully! I was in a bit of a quandry about how I should make the handles, and of what materials, and then it came to me, chopsticks would be perfect. Of course then I had to scour the net looking for the perfect pair, but once I saw these, I knew my search was over
So here it is - best be careful or I’ll have fashion-houses all over the world queueing up to buy the design from me - ROFLMBO!! ha!ha!
