The Curious Bee: getting on with it

well well well. i believe i was a bit too ambitious with the whole project a day thing. i have however worked on a project everyday which is quite satisfying. so far i have been sketching like crazy for my new card series i want to silk screen, plus continuing with the minnow and bee logo and biz cards, photographing everything from breakfast to my cats, and sewing. so getting on with it, here is the latest sewing project.

a large wrap-around-clutch of my very own design! (and my very first at that)
it's roughly one foot wide and folds out to 2 feet in length. keeping with attempts to reuse before recycle, i took one of the hubby's old dress shirts that was in the good-will pile, some fabric and a huge button from last weekends thrifty binge.

this project had it's special moments...there were a few cursing sessions followed by several ripping sessions and a button hole function mishap. no matter-this is all about learning. i think it's lovely despite the button hole, which you can't even see. in any case i will have a fabulous bag collection by the time i get good enough to sell something. it could be worse!

this new rekindled affair with my artistic process is strange but oh so fun! i am determined to make things and not stress about their imperfections. i would rather learn from them and keep the momentum going. overall it's been a good week. here are some of those pictures i mentioned:
