Thanks to everyone that came to visit Open Studios. It was fun to see you all.
I will be in a group show in San Francisco at the end of June, so hopefully I will see you there again…
Cheers

Bags and more bags
Here are some of the other bags I’ve made and will have available for sale at the Open Studios.
The Hobo Bag.
This one is made out of a very soft upholstery fabric I found at a discounted fabric store in Oakland. This store is almost my little secret…
The inside is a very nice cotton fabric I found at the same store.
The Orange Circle Bag.
It is probably the most difficult bag I have made to date. I used a dinner plate to make the pattern and elongated it to be able to fold the top half. The zipper was quite difficult to work with. I think i did OK considering…
Open Studios June 9-10, 2007
So, I will have my studio open to anyone who wants to come in and buy stuff from me, or just look.
Here are a couple of bags I will have for sale. Plus, more pincushions! And some drawings.
This bag is made out of blue acrylic felt I bought at the White Elephant sale in Oakland, CA. The interior is lined in orange cotton, also from the WES with 3 pockets perfect for brushes, pencils, pens, etc…I made all the wiggles of thread on the outside using my trusty sewing machine and tons of different color spools.
It has a piece of corrugated plastic in between the fabrics in the bottom, to make it sturdy.
The orange interior.
Here is another bag:
This one is made from beautiful bark cloth inside and out. The handles go around the bottom. It is a sturdy bag with magnets on the flap to secure closure.
It does not have a pocket inside, but it opens wide for easy access.
Pincushion Bombs AWAY!!
These were inspired by squid. Really, I was thinking of squid. My neighbour thought they looked like bombs… Then, bombs away!!!
They are made from fleece and they are filled with scrap fleece and felt. I will also sell these at The East Bay Open Studios (June 2-3 and June 9-10, 2007). If you want one, just ask. I will gladly send you one. Only in purple and black, while supplies last… 
These will be $2 ea. So come get them! Don’t you think they are super cute?
Pincushion Galore!!
Here are some simple pincusions with tons of color! If you want one let me know, I will be selling them at the East Bay Artists studios this weekend and next (June 2-3 and June 9-10) Come on by and buy tons of cool stuff from local East Bay artists.
Most of these will be $2 to $5. What a steal!!
These are $4. I know you want one!

They are handmade from strips of polyester felt. Super cute!
