White Trash Third Nipple

Randi made this. It's a cat belly. It's also a purse. The teats, or nipples, are made from pink Ultrasuede. It's a little obscene and very funny. She had the idea to make something like this with three nipples and call it "White Trash Third Nipple". It seems like we have a lot of white-trash friends who have third nipples. I don't know what that's about.

This purse was a custom order. I love the way it turned out. I have another purse cut out and started, as well as a couple throw pillows. I might keep them all, I don't know.

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.

Plans, Executed

I made these yesterday. Sometimes I see an image of something, or read about it, and get a great deal of satisfaction from making it real. It's the closest I've ever come to magic, or experiencing another dimension. I think that's why I like to make things. It makes me feel like a super-hero, like I can manipulate my surroundings.
