I've decided that my Monday posts are going to be all about the past week's work in my studio. I figure this is a good system for a) making sure each week is productive in the studio, b) constantly sharing my work and, c) starting the week with a blog post that will get my creative juices in gear. Well, at least, this is the hope. Wish me luck.
The past few weeks in my studio have been all about prototypes. I've never made many bags before, but I'm having a blast making some linen tote samples with little printed elements. I didn't realize how many decisions there are to make when designing a bag ... width, height, depth, length of straps, pockets, etc, etc, not to mention fabric, colors, print. There are a lot of variables which makes it pretty fun.
And then there's testing out prints + ink. I inherited some neon screen-printing ink from a friend, so I decided to burn a screen with some of my recent block prints. I'm kinda in love with the pop of neon on these neutral fabrics. I think they are super playful for spring and summer so it's a nice incentive to hustle to get some of these products out as soon as possible.
Since I leave for vacation (Austin!) on Saturday, I have a huge list of items to accomplish before I step foot on the plane. Time for another cup of coffee. Let's do this.
