Coming Soon To a Theater Near You

I am sitting here racking my brain up, torturing myself to the max, going around the circles with my tails between my legs, searching for a solution to no avail. Call me crazy!

The thing is I have been commissioned to create a new hand painted bag. The client is not looking for a specific design or color but a bag, nothing less, nothing more.

The fact of the matter is that my creative juices have been down in the pits lately. The more I beat myself up, the more I seem to hit a hole in the ground. It is just not there, the inspiration button seems to have been turned off temporarily.

It has been that pitiful but then, suddenly, without a care in the world, a light bulb went on in my head. It donned on me that I did not have to go very far. I mean, I have been creating these fabrics for years, unruly painting like a factory assembly line and storing them in the closet somewhere, waiting for the angels to come down from heaven.

They were intended to adorn your beautiful home in the form of decorative pillows, which I did with a few, click here but flashback a few years, when the owner is out, the cats will come out to play. So,  playing we are, playing we will. Stay tuned for a few interesting things coming soon to a theater near you.

An Assortment of Colors


One of my weakness is that I am never satisfied with only one thing. I learn it and then begin to think about ways to recreate it, make it in different colors so to please everyone. Let's face it, we all don't think or dress alike, or have the same taste. So, based on that alone, I like to give everyone a variety to pick from. Many others have been made since that I learned that very first piece and hope to unveil soon. Remember, these are very intricate pieces and it can take up to four weeks to complete one, slowly, step by step, one hole at a time.

Gray and black will make an elegant piece

Blue and white will do for night and/or day 

Blue, red, gold, purple... so many to pick from.
