Mermaid Monday

Mermaid Monday, originally uploaded by calamity kim.

I started this so long ago, I can't even remember!
I just didn't feel it- ya know? Every time I would start adding yoyo's and buttons around the center image I would feel unsure of what to do and what color should be next and it didn't flow.
My original intent was to just have 3 red yoyo's at the top and bottom of the oval and a few leaves but this is what it finally became.
I am used to "feeling" my way through projects and if I hit a snag I just stop and set it aside until it comes to me. That probably isn't the best way to work, but when I force a project it often doesn't turn out well at all.
What's a girl to do?
So, here after many, many days is the front of the mermaid bag finished.
Next comes the lining and getting the handle made and all the finishing touches.
It feels good to be almost finished with her.
Almost as good as a day at the beach!
xo, Happy Monday!
I hope I can get in a bench picture before sunset...
we'll see...
xo, calamity kim
