I truly hate the heat.

My studio was about 100 degrees today.  I’m actually working in a “sweatshop”.  When I’m done with the fashion show next Saturday night I might start looking for property in a cooler climate.  Northern Vermont is simply too hot and too damn sunny for me.  It feels like New Orleans.  I don’t remember the last rainy day I experienced. I love rain, fog and cool, overcast days.  There’s a slight chance for a thunderstorm tonight—here’s hoping. I’ll be a lot more productive if it cools off even a little.  I have a lot of details to finish and only four full days to do it.

I spent an inordinate amount of time on this bag.  I’m thrilled that it turned out looking like a museum piece. It’s has structural integrity, but it looks like it should be handled with white gloves.  I think Frida Kahlo might’ve actually carried this.  I’m not sure which of my models for STRUT will be carrying this bag because it works with all four looks. I could do this type of design for days and neither need rest or nourishment.  I love when I’m in “flow” in my studio.  It’s a rare and unbelievably fulfilling time as an artist.
