Day 61

This was a Valentine's Day purse. It is red felt with fluo-pink webbing arrow.

Day 60

I don't know what to make of this one- it definitely does not glamorize the war. The war is inescapable and by making a statement purse drawing attention to it- is my way of not letting anyone forget...even in the context of fashion...the reality that is occuring every day in another part of the world.

Day 59

Happy Belated Halloween! I'm back. Yes, I have been slacking on the blog- not because there aren't enough purses but because my priorities weren't straight and I let school take the lead...will try to post more often... This purse is made out of inside-out black nylon canvas with safety-orange neon nylon under neon mesh. Houndstooth is already a breaking up of the grid- so putting houndstooth on a purse that droops is deconstruction to the next level!

Day 58

A second in the Nascar-Rascal series!- Pom-pom style

Day 57

This bag is all about the idea of the zig zag- in other words two things made out of the same idea (material) going in opposing directions...the top is notched to look like a zipper.

Day 56

This is a purse from my pirate-punk phase (2003 onwards). It uses neon construction tape (from my assemblages), digital fabric transfers (of me wearing a homemade silver dress and a hat knit out of neon-orange-polar-fleece), and an embroidered neon chartreuse lightening bolt!.

Day 55

I didn't mean to slack on my blog...I'm back! This blue leather purse was inspired by Elvis' blue suede shoes. It is a bag that is formed by how it slacks- when it's straight, it's just a rectangle- maybe that means that slackers are more interesting!
