inside the studio...

remember the camera bag gone wrong?

well last night i decided to revisit her. a bit of gesso (ok a lot of gesso and it was still bleeding pink), a bit of shimmerz (red-y or not) and some quinacridone crimson and this is where we stand. at least i am liking it a little better. she is not done, but she is a bit more pleasant on the eyes.

over the weekend i was planning on scrapbooking...real paper pages! i got my supplies out, some photos and remembered that eclipse had come out on itunes and figured i would watch it on my computer while i worked...well i got "sucked" in (punn intended) and this is all i got done.

i'm pretty sure they will sit like this for a while because today i woke up and wanted to make a ruffley messenger bag using these fabrics. so this is what i will work on today!

thats it for today from inside the studio...

we've been getting a lot of your orders for the fun new stuff in the shop and they will be going out today!! we only have about 12 of the $5 grab bag kits left so you better grab 'em fast for stocking stuffers because thats the last of them for 2010!

have a happy tuesday, see ya tomorrow for inspiration wednesday!

donna - on the heart layout - how did you make the heart? Did you draw/paint it or is it some kind of iron on? I love that layout. Can't wait to see all of them completed (pressure is on :-))! Thanks for the inspiration!

rita it is a secret until cha in january...but i will give you a hint you might see it as one of the new dd for prima products and you might use paint and stamp the heart image...

How about collaging fabric pieces right onto the camera bag, then you won't have to worry about seeing pink! Love the scrapbook pages Donna.

I was going to ask about how you made the heart too...excited to see the new product!!! I love how it looks on the page and I love the idea of a ruffled messenger bag. I've had my own "happy bag" fabric cut for ages but I haven't gotten around to actually sewing it. Maybe that will be my reward when I finish all my handmade Christmas gifts!
