House of bags

Don't you hate when your hand falls asleep and you know it will be up all night.
Steven Wright

Yeah, in my case it'll probably be up all night sewing!

I've got too many projects on the go right now! But I can't choose so they all get a little attention.

As soon as my son gets home from school he'll want me to help him with all his projects: building an army, making terrain, embroidering pillows, writing and drawing comic books. He has my curse.

I've finally figured out how to make and use brushes in Photoshop. I never realized they could be designed as stamps. I always wondered why you would want to paint with a butterfly shape. Silly me.

Lots of bags. I'll write and post more about them later in the week.

Today's Inspiration: Photoshop brushes. I know I've probably gone a little overboard but I'll calm down once the initial excitement has faded.

Likes: Leonard Cohen's song, Hallelujah. Who ever sings this, it is always beautiful!

Dislikes: I can't say rain again, can I?

Wow,I was on a bit of a Leonard Cohen bender yesterday, must be going around! I love Hallelujah, its one of my most played on the iPod.

Did you learn about PS brushes just from experimentation, or did you get started from a book, class, etc.? Your results are fab... please don't calm down at all. Also, I love the fortune bag... EVERYTHING about it!

Yep, grooving to Hallelujah here, too (well maybe not "grooving"). Jeff Buckley's version has been practically looping on my ipod for the last month. I think I'm in love.

Mega-cool bag, btw.

wow- the bag looks beautiful. I'm hoping you'll show us more!

The bag is SO great and I really LOVE the picture. I'm not familiar with "brushes" at all but you've piqued my curiosity. Hallelujah!

Wow. I LOVE your bag! Cool pic too!

Oh agreed on the Jeff Buckley cover - simply divine!

we love your bag... truly!

What a lovely site! I'm coming back soon for more inspiration.. Your paintings are beautiful!
