craftsmanship

I. Will. Finish. This. Fic. THIS. WEEKEND. !! Hopefully.

Meanwhile...

Sometimes I see something — a bag, a jacket, an embellishment — and I just have to knock it off. I can't rest until I've figured out how it was made and tried to make it myself.

I've been deep-diving crochet on Pinterest, and I kept seeing these bags by Italian designer Daniela Gregis. And every time one popped up, I would stop scrolling and marvel enviously: How did she *do* that?? Structurally, they are the most basic of designs, but her use of color and texture and pattern is remarkable.





I knew I could get close. And I just couldn't rest until I'd made my own version. And here it is! (Albeit with much worse photography. Edited because my pro designer husband was bored and took pity on me and hauled out his digital & tripod.)
