Before I set off to our super wonderful farmer's market (*please let there be kale, please let there be kale, please let there be KALE!!*), I thought I would share some shots of a new piece, or rather, an old piece that I am re-making.
A while back, I posted about wanting to re-do several beaded pieces and make them anew. One is already finished and I am deep into the redesign of another. Needing to take a break from Hemisphere for a bit while I search our more shiny orange beads, I took on this Steampunk Cowgirl monstrosity and put it to pieces.
What was I thinking?? It was big and bulky and hard to wear... but, IMO, still had some merit in the component choices and the colors. So... to pieces it went!
Now I am in the middle of the new project and pleased and surprised with how it's turning out! When I started, I still wanted it to be sort of steampunk-y and cowgirl-ish but somehow it has morphed into something more akin to "cosmic renegade". It looks more space-y and grunge-y than the picture I had in my mind. When it started going in that direction, I just went with it to see where it would take me and I'm certainly enjoying the ride. I hope you like these pics - let me know what you think! :)
I can already tell it's going to be fabulous! I love these posts where you take old designs and push them to new dimensions!
