"Sheesh -- am feeling underwhelmed by myself. ' is about to become my mantra!

Moving kind of slow today, but did get this one done. At 5.00 pm today I am pouring a glass of wine and relaxing! 200 hats! How am I going to get this done!

This hat is merino wool with hand dyed silk gauze over lay. The camera never seems to capture this color nor the purples.

Anyway, Good Sabbath and Shalom,
Suzanne

Note to Self and The Rest of The Bag


A bit ago I made a bag but only showed part of it. Now here it is in it's completed form. While I like it, I don't love it and I know why. Lessons learned, however slowly!
When I started out making this bag, I wanted the inside to be brighter in color and chose a golden yellow color. I thought it would be better to look into and actually find what one might be searching for. Might be nice in theory, however, when I applied the colors to the outside of the bag, the golden colors migrated through to the surface and rather "dirtied" the surface colors. The best example of the color differences is that the handle of the bag and the bag itself are made of the same color wool. The impact of the gold color is significant.
Note to self: Think it through better
