Oriental carpet























Here's the first project I have made using self designed fabrics. This is a special order, a bag for craft projects, where I have combined real crocheting and knitting to the fabric that has corcheting and knitting printed on it. I think the result is like an oriental carpet!

I have a lot of going on this spring. Last but not least is my bachelor's thesis for industrial design. It will take a lot of my spare time. To be honest it makes me a bit sad that my studies are over soon.

On the other hand studying has brought me so much good in my life, a new job with design challenges, the courage needed for opening my Etsy shop and many skills I have longed for all my life. I could not ask for more.

This bag is wonderful! You don't have to stop studying, as you will learn all your life. But I'm enjoying the "fruits" of your labor.

I just LOVE looking at every bag you've done --- archeological/anthropological layers of color and meaning!
