wool and sequins

i love a contrast in materials – the combination of wool and sequins is ideal for a bit of yuletide glamour.

i diy-ed this bag a while ago but haven’t used it much. so i thought i’d try again with this inspo in mind…

1. i removed the straps.

2. attached velcro strips.

3. cut a leather rectangle in contrasting colour.

4. attached leather handle. et voila!

carry on

all the essentials for the 9 hour flight tomorrow…

red white and blue

i made this coat using a quilt i bought in when i was eighteen. i kind of love it, despite it’s impractical bedding like features and heavy weight. appropriate colours too for this day of relief. good job guys.

new in: ArtiZanna purse

i recently made this purse for my friend seonaid goody, a leather version of her favorite and much much used receptacle. this little number was quite hard to hand over i must admit.

trio alike

new in by Artizanna: an unashamed tribute to the Trio bag by Celine. sometimes originality is overrated…
