Most of my orders are now done, packed and shipped. Still one, somewhat large, needs to go into production. Shouldn't be big deal. Now that I've made countless tweaks to the patterns, studio arrangements and drank ungodly amounts of caffeine, I feel that I can handle the task pretty quickly. It took me bit of time to get into the groove of things. The orders were mainly for the new bags and I have not done bags on this scale in a long time. Up till now it was mostly the neck line that dominated the scene. And sample making. Very different production styles. And the best part? These are really great new accounts that paid immediately.

Currently in full blown Spring production with looming deadlines. Collection updates coming coon!

Production.

Loving these necklaces. I have a really beautiful metallic lambskin that we're using for spring chokers and the texture reminds me of the finish on these pieces.

Technologically Challenged Day. Ipod is dead and needs to be reset to it's original factory settings. Of course all my music files are on my now defunct PC. My wireless router is not working, so I can't connect to the net in my studio. Soooo, no music, noise, inspiration or distraction to keep me company while I work. Batteries for my camera refuse to hold charge. Sorry, no pictures of new stuff I've been working on. On a bright side, the fish in our rooftop pond survived the deep freeze.
