Tulipanprosjektet har vokst et par cm, men dette kommer til å ta tid! Jeg er nesten overrasket over hvor langt jeg kom før jeg mistet tålmodigheten den gangen for lenge siden...
Skjerfet består fremdeles av 32 løse deler, så her er det ikke mye å vise til. Kanskje en passende anledning til å heller vise fram noen flere av de "gamle" veskene mine? De er produsert i perioden 2001-2003. Siden jeg nå - endelig!!! - har fått taket på dette med å redigere lenker, har jeg tenkt å lage en liste over stedene disse veskene kan kjøpes.
Stoffene jeg bruker har forskjellig opprinnelse - noe er stoffer jeg har farget selv, noe er fra diverse restekasser, og noe er fra Kina... sånn som i de veskene jeg viser her.
Frimerker kan være veldig vakre eller interessante på andre måter, og sammen med knapper, perler og paljetter utgjør de ofte dekoren på veskene mine. Slik dikter jeg bærbare eventyr...
Noen ganger er hele veska laget ut fra et frimerke eller noe annet dekorativt, mens andre ganger er det et bestillingsverk hvor jeg prøver å speile personligheten eller stilen til den som skal ha veska.
The Tulip Secret is making very slow progress... I am honestly surprised I reached as far as I did before my patience ran out years back... And the scarf is still not a scarf - just 32 pieces waiting for my idle hands to join them together. Well. Maybe this is a good excuse for posting pictures of my bags? Quite old ones; made 2001-2003.
The bags are made from various kinds of fabric, some of exotic origin and some picked up from some "on sale"-basket. Stamps, buttons, beads and sequins are added for decoration and also to make a theme for the bag. Sometimes a single stamp is the inspiration for how the bag turns out - other times the bag is a comissioned work, and I try to reflect the style or personality of the owner. Sometimes the starting point will be a scrap of fabric from the owners new party dress, and i will add fabrics and trimming and coins or whatever to make it a portable fairytale...
The weekend was fantastic - one extra day off and BEAUTIFUL weather! So a new pair of shorts came handy. This is a detail from the front, showing "Number One"-buttons sewn with dark red thread. 
And this is a detail from one of my early handbags, also shown in my shop. Matchy-matchy! If I would wear these items with my new red sandals?. Oh yes! 
A blurry version of the bag here...
