In reverse

Fabric & buttons

You probably know that my “thing,” for the last year or so, has been to create custom color schemes in polymer clay to coordinate with existing designer fabrics.  But long before I started matching fabric, I was devising my own color schemes.  I still use both types of color families in my current polymer clay [...]

Three sheets to the wind

Teaser

No, I’m not really drunk. I just wanted to talk about three bags made out of sheets, and the phrase popped right into my head.

Hmmm, should I announce a winner?

Peonies in a mason jar

Or should I just leave you hanging? I’ve already waited five hours longer than I planned to before posting this followup to the bag giveaway, and maybe that’s hanging enough. You think? Ok. So I asked Neil to come up with a random criteria by which to rank comments and choose a winner. The criteria [...]

Makin’ bags and givin’ stuff away

One Object 365 Days: 154/365 06/02/08

My friends all pretty much know that I make things and sell them, so I guess it shouldn’t have come as a surprise when more than once a friend saw my new bag and said, “ooh! how much are you selling those for?” Well, I wasn’t… I was just making one for me. I’m nothing [...]
