One of the most liberating, but equally terrifying, things I can be told when working in a project is “do whatever you think will look best”
It seems trivial but what if my version of “best” is way different than yours? What is my current creative vibe is way off from what you have in mind?
At the end of the day if someone trusts me enough to let my creativity run then run I will
So here’s my next version of what I think will look best. YouTubing how to use bag stiffener, trying my hand at the incredibly long, but also meditative, process of applying Edge Kote and learning how in the hell to attach a new bag clasp
This is also one of the few projects I’ve done where I haven’t been last minute working on something for Christmas gifts or an upcoming market. I can take the time to play with a pattern, methodically plan out my steps and for once not be in a rush (although I’m pretty sure the friend I’m making this for would really like me to hurry up and finish this for her already 🙃) and this has been so incredibly refreshing. An extra long break from social media hasn’t hurt either
It feels really good to see this come together for the joy of creating and not having to hurry on to the next project
Here’s to creating for the simple sake of the joy that it brings 🤎
