My Creative Space

The pre-market panic continues over in the Augustin household. I had a wonderful and successful day at the BIDM last Saturday (Yah!), but that means that I have needed to make more stock for the three (yes you read write, this crazy woman has booked herself in for not one, not two, but three) markets this weekend.

Much of the activity however has been only going on in my head, but I have managed...

... a couple more make up pouches...

... and a number of reversible kimono wrist bags... I have so much fun combining the fabrics so that with a quick flick, these bags look like...

... this!

More to be made tonight and tomorrow morning.

For more creative spaces, and the last of them for the year, head over to Kootoyoo.

If you're local... those three markets are:

Fri 11th - Boutique Twilight Market, Porstide, 5pm - 9pm

Sat 12th - Blackwood Street Christmas Market, Mitchelton, 4pm - 9pm

Sun 13th - Boutique Market, Portside, 8am - 3pm

More from Tokyo Design Festa - Bags by Ema

At the Design Festa, I just drooled over this woman's work! Not only were they amazing, original pieces of art, they were in fabric AND they had been made into bags! I had an ever-so-brief chat with the artist, and she was a darling as well.


Mmm... a lovely combination of red and black and cute and scary. Can you guess how tempted I was to buy this piece?

Check out these Japanese choir girls in their school uniform. I love the detail in the library too!

Talk about purse feet! This one has purse legs and feet! If you look close, you can see that they are dangling from the bottom of the bag. Actually, talking of purse feet... soon I'll show you the bag I did buy at this event... The funkiest purse feet I've ever seen.

You can see more of Ema’s work here.

Tomorrow, if all goes well, I'll be rearranging my workroom wall just in time for this week's This is… theme.
