I've got a notebook where I sketch out ideas for new bags, and while I keep putting stuff in it I haven't been creating anything out of it. Well, that trend broke today. I started today with this baby, which I'm going to call Red Telephone Box Wristlet.
I had already roughly worked out the dimensions, so I futzed with them some more and made a prototype. The scale on my first attempt was all wrong, but the second time out I think I got things mostly how I want them. I made a stamp for the 'telephone' text, but I only used an ink pad to save time and decided to fill it in with black fabric paint afterwards to get a feel for how a real one would look. I think I'll have to make a stamp for the crown as well. I painted that one by hand and it shows.
The next version of this will be so much prettier. Fingers crossed.
