...when you add some shading with a colored pencil...
Isn't it amazing what a difference the shading makes? (Lighting too - the first one was taken under a fluorescent light and the second and third ones were in natural daylight - huge difference in color!)
I can really see myself having some fun with this! Do you Zentangle?
In case you're interested, here are the "work" projects for the week. Two custom purse orders in one week! Woo hoo!!! First up is a Two-Zip Hipster in Juggling Summer and lined with orange swirls. The combination of fabrics and stabilizers in this bag is just perfect. I wish you could feel this bag. It has lots of body without being stiff, and feels so nice! My customer will be picking this up later today and I can't wait to see how she likes it.
And this work-in-progress is a City Bag, at 90% of the original size. I'm still waiting for the strap hardware to arrive in the mail, so it's not quite done yet. I used a multi-colored batik for the top and faux leather for the bottom and the strap. Now I get to Zentangle (aka play) while I wait for my package of hardware to arrive!
Cheers!
Kathy, your bags are lovely as always. The zentangle is fascinating ... I vaguely remember you mentioning it a while back but otherwise I've never seen it anywhere. The shading definitely makes it stand out beautifully. So, what are you going to do with this now?!
