Progress not perfection

This little purse is going to be lined with a beautiful sueded black cotton so I am going to leave the artwork in grisaille.  I have only a little bit of the front completed, and most of the back is done.  Tomorrow I hope to finish the drawing, then I will cut out the lining, interfacing and shell fabric and baste it together.  Once it is 3 dimensional, I can decide if the designs needs to be re-worked or more details added to complement the purse.  I love making something functional from a odd piece of fabric, a few zippers and an idea.  

Sometime the ideas are overwhelming, and I accomplish nothing because I am unable to narrow my focus.  I'm not the only creative person to struggle with this so I don't feel all alone.  When we moved into this home, I created a storage system that has worked well for me. Each project I'm currently working on is stored in its own bin. This makes it easy to move from one to another, and maintain order in my home studio.  Today, the wristlet is on the table.  When I finish up for the day it goes back in its bin.  Tomorrow, the encaustic paintings or dew drop dollies may make an appearance.  This system allows me to easily move from one project to the next and have a clean work space at the end of each day.

Time to call this day finished.  Thanks for stopping by.
