Golden Bugs

Randi has started her Golden Bug series. Using a side quest from The Legend Of Zelda as inspiration, she’s handcrafting golden bugs and reinterpreting them in handbags. This is the second installment, and I think the little bug compartment is perfect, almost ethereal.

I’ve been working on exciting projects as well, but I can’t quite talk about them yet, and frankly it’s taking me down. I’m excited, and I can’t keep secrets.

We also went to the Rose Festival today. I took quite a few photographs, and I plan to use them for some projects.

Radish Spirits, Squeeze Frames

RED! I made two of these yesterday. I love the red the most. I also got a purse-hardware shipment which included some fantastic little squeeze frames. I've been making little radish spirit purses, but I've had to hold back a little, because it would be easy to fill my shop with them. I also made salamander sleeping pants for my husband. You'll just have to imagine them for right now.

It's summer finally, my kids swim all day and I sew, and then we all eat things like barbecued chicken off the grill. I'm having a pretty good time.
