We are still using those steampunk inspired pendants. They were so much fun to make and I have set a few aside to use in my mixed media paintings. I have so much "stuff"collected for paintings. My previous post shows how we made them and then turned them into a banner Steampunk Banner.
Gigi is a tomboy. She doesn't get why girls like to spend time fixing their hair, putting on make-up or worrying about accessories. (I love all those things.) I was so excited when I found out that her friends talked her into using a purse. She refused to carry any type of bag that looked girly or pink or had flowers or had anything that indicated she could possible be a girly-girl. I showed her a few of the Kavu bags, which are functional, durable, and fun. I carry one. She didn't really love any of them so off we went to look through my fabric scraps.
Gigi designed her own small messenger tote by using left over pieces of an Army uniform, chevron canvas, left over military patches and pins from her Dad's collection and some of her steampunk charms and pendants. It turned out so cool. Or should I say epic? I can never keep up. Now she's not walking around school with her pockets full of her phone, chapstick, pens and pencils, papers... her new steampunk/military inspired bag holds it all.
