In other news, I really need to start producing some work for my Master's program. I'm so used to having assignments that this independent study thing is giving me a bit of a fit. I've also been consumed with getting things into my shop so that has given me a bit of a creative block as far as school projects go. I think that my next move Etsy wise will be to list bags that can be made to order. Actually, I wish I would have thought of that first! Then I could have just made one of each style and let customers pick their own fabric. Not re-inventing the wheel with that concept, but you get the idea.
In case you were wondering, my theme for my body of work is body modification. I plan to draw inspiration from various forms of modifications like tattoos, scarification, branding, etc. The thing is I am not sure what I want to make first...a clothing item? A soft sculpture? A wall hanging? See...someone who has trouble making decisions like me should not be left to their own devices! Well, I should stop whining because I am going for my terminal art degree so it's time I get into my "artist's mindset". Since I hate posting sans pics, I will leave you with a couple of images I have collected as inspiration towards my school projects...
