Home is where the art is

 There's a lot going on right now. Working on a poster for a musical, a project with another artist, learning french, starting up with forever aloe vera, the possibility ambassadors and of course making things. So I went back to my roots at "island land" to get a break from everything. Decided I was gonna do nothing, which turned out to be quite difficult. I ended up making these neck pieces and two braclets from something called "zpaghetti" (stretch fabric) that I got at the weavers fair 2011.

 

SiDEKiCK!

When I found the small brass hangers (commonly used for hanging up decorative embroidery pieces on the wall) on second hand it gave me a smashing idea and after hanging out with the brother (my sewing machine) for a while it was complete - An adorable little purse just waiting to accompany you to the next party! The outside is a fabric I have woven in a pattern called "goose eye" and the bright fabric on the inside are supposed to make it easier finding things in your purse even when you don't have the right light. Still what I like the most about it (besides the pocket inside) is that you can put your ring and middle finger through the two bigger holes in the hangers to make brass knuckles so (if you need to) you can defend yourself.
