On Fire Again

Have I ever been busy? Yes, I have.

Been making totes, totes, totes. Had a pile of tees and decided to do traditional totes. Couple of them came out a bit more than a plain tote, but mostly totes. And they look awesome.

Have more to sew. Pics soon.

MORE IN THE STORE

Wow! I'm on fire.  I finished several more VesTotes last night and photographed them this morning and posted them on Artfire. My store is bursting at the seams. Here's the link to my Artfire shop again:  http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/yayamade

And here's pics of a couple of my Favs.


I'm also having a great time with Amazine. I downloaded the "make it a story" button (works kind of like the "pin it" button from Pinterest) and I can add all kinds of stuff to my own magazine. It's pretty cool.  I can also add items from my store and Amazine adds a "shop it" button.  Here's the link: http://yayamade.amazine.com/

Three, Two, One, Blast Off!

It's done. I launched both Milk Money and Tee Leaves on Artfire today. Quite a job, getting them all listed.

Milk Money is the little coin purse I designed using the spout of a juice/milk carton and fabric. I think it's quite ingenious, if I do say so myself. And I do.  I launched some made from animal prints, most of which were from a fabric I lovingly call pleather, a plastic leather-looking fabric. The other is a knit fabric, pink leopard print. Yowsa!

The newer ones are from fabric and include lettering to spell out fun words like Cash Cow, Mad Money, Glad Money, Champ Change. Yes, I know it's supposed to be Chump Change. But that sounds so negative, so I changed it.  Here's a couple of the Milk Money Coin Purses. You can see and purchase them at www.yayamade.artfire.com.


Also, launched today are my bookmarks that I call Tee Leaves, as they're made from tee shirts. And just like the lettering on the Milk Money Coin Purses, it too is from tee shirts. I've spelled out words representing differing reading genre like Fiction, Romance, Fiction and the like. They're quite fun and, I think, a very smart use of tee shirts. I do so love upcycling!


 Aren't they fun!

Colorful.

No two are alike.
