Mixed Media Monday

Friend or Foe?

01/13/200901/13/2009 K Hutchinson

Hello Everyone! I have a really busy week and weekend on my plate! My step-daughter graduates from high school this week. So, I am busy helping get things ready for her graduation party. Last night while trying to unwind from a long day- I read my Cloth Paper Scissors- I found this article on making clutch purse out of fused plastic bags! Then I though about the theme at Mixed Media Monday this week. Which is FRIENDSHIP. I love to go shopping with my girlfriends and look at pretty handbags. Plus I have a love hate friendship with my sewing machine! So thinking WAY OUTSIDE the box. I went with this friendship clutch.

First I want to say- I had a great time making this bag- it is a little funky- odd shaped- thread not so neat…but that is most likely how my friends would describe me! I think next week I will try to make another one but a small one for business cards!

Hi! I'm Kim...my friends call me K, Nan, Nan K or Kimmer. I have been doing art for as long as I can remember. I even stayed an extra year in high school to stay and play in the art room with my favorite Art teacher, Mrs. Belling. Mixed media is something I am really loving to play with but then I enjoy doing anything art related. I am still search for my niche in art. Hopefully someday I will find it! Maybe it will find me!

There is just no end to your creativity! I feel terrible, I completely forgot about Leighias open house. I should be kicked in the butt for that. Bad bad bad. Where should I send her gift? I am so sorry!
Love this clutch by the way. I cannot believe its out of plastic bags. It would be cool to do one with a spiral rope beaded strap! Love it!

Now that is way toooooo cool. Talk about funky–just like you and your pink hair–LOL. I’m always amazed and envious at how fast you see something on line or in a mag and then pop out an inspiration piece. You’re goooooooood!
