this weekend
i thought that
i could get
some crafting
done in between
writing and reading...
i did manage
to do
this little collage
and finish
a small purse
for a swap...
here's a close-up:
but i had
high hopes
of
mailing packages
and
finishing
multiple purses,
a softie for a swap,
and
a large collage...
oh
AND
studying and writing.
i always
overbook
my schedule!
this little
(the size of a postcard)
collage
will be up in
my etsy shop
later today.
i am offering
it framed
or
unframed.
in the october,
after my exam,
i plan
to start offering
a lot more
framed collages,
purses,
and
my original
felted softies
(i am slowly
perfecting them)...
but it just
has to wait
until after
my exam
for now...
i will sporadically
put some items
up in my shop
and
let you know
right here on
bugheart central.

Oh god, that bible book illustration looks so familiar. I am sure I've seen it before in books I had as a kid. Memories, filtering up....
Congrats on finishing a little fun work in the midst of all your serious stuff.

Oh I do love your collages so. But today - I am really in love with your little felted bag. Gorgeous!
I love that collage!I wish I could put things together so well, but I always freeze like a deer.
is the carry case spoken for?
oh oh such goodness.... i love the little felted bag - super cute - i've always wanted to try and felt [on the long list of things to try]
that book illustration is pretty darn unintentionally funny....
The purse is adorable!
Wanted to let you know that I got the traincase and I love it. Thanks! I'll send you postage.
"You cannot do these tricks" - wonderful words... looking forward to seeing more.
take care, gracia
those books are super strange. i love your collage and the purse is beautiful! I'm loving mine.
Hi, this is Mia (I claimed the green skirt from the last giveaway).
I have that same book, also from a thrift store! Mine is in Spanish and it's quite beaten up but I love the colors and illustrations. I cut parts out for collages which I regret a bit.
Your collage is wonderful and I LOVE the purse - so soft and pretty!!! Look forward to seeing those softies!!
I love the sexy bible. Once a young mormon woman approached me to to try and convert me, she kept flipping through The Book of Mormon commenting on all the pictures of hunky bible guys saying, "don't you wish men looked like that today!" & "ooh look at him!". Needless to say, the hunky bible guys didn't win me over to mormonism.
Love the collage!
Cheers!
