SoUL sWiRL

I made this funky purse from recycled black leather (pants), black satin (around the perimeter), and layers and layers of various fabric, which I slashed. The lining is gold satin, and red velvet with stitching in the letters of my business on each side, which I stitched on the machine. I will try to take a picture of the inside.

Here's "the soul" sitting on a table outside the Vancouver Art Gallery. There were a lot of boutiques on Main Street that wanted her.

I called it Soul Swirl, because of the curvaceous lines, but mainly because that is what my soul was doing at the time I was working on it. Dizzying really, like a whirling dervish. Spinning, and swirling, loving and learning. Taking leaps, sometimes missing the bank on the other side, but still, swimming, staying afloat, leaping again, learning, and loving. Losing, and gaining, making very tough decisions, seeing many aspects of life clearly for the first time. Amazing what a little real love will do for a person. We should all have some real love. Not everyone has ever experienced it.

Here she is in the Port Moody Wearable Art Show.

I made another funky purse in different design, which I will post later. It is made with black leather, too, and pink satin. Feel free to contact me by leaving a comment on my blog, or by emailing me at klozhausfunk@gmail.ca
