fair ophelia interviewed on RFN

the lovely mr. marty owings just interviewed me for Radio Free Nation, part of blog talk radio. it was a little nerve racking, thinking of all of the "uhms" and "aws" to be swallowed, and not rambling... thankfully it did go well. we talked about the history of fair ophelia designs and the nifty handbags thus created. you can listen to the interview here.
...and there is a camera in the mail, so i will be posting more and more pictures...
off to writing my late comparative paper on afghan and indian folktale motifs...here's to coffee and good music until the sun comes up.

Fair Ophelia Bags

people have been asking me what kinds of bags they can order, so here are a few examples of the fair ophelia bags...

pleated bag, this is the largest version, but i make them in various sizes

the pleated bag in use...in a very messy studio.

coffee sack messenger bag, sized for a laptop

small coffee messenger

shoulder coffee purse

i have done custom bags in other designs, but those are typically a one-time deal, unless requested.

i have been busy designing a coffee clutch purse, a unisex wallet, wristlets, and other goods for the Indie Valentine show.
off to work...

small pleated bags

i made a few new bags this week...

i free-motion machine stitched the above design. i love doing these, but they are time consuming.

one bag that i was tempted to sport myself.

i have a bunch of great fabric to make a lot of these bags and they are all have fall colors, so i'm going to be busy busy making bags over the next couple of days. i need to get them in stores soon for the holiday shopping madness.
