Spring Bouquet

my latest project is finally finished, strap and all.  a handbag this time, embroidered with a mix of cheerful spring flowers.  something about the colorful flowers on the dark teal linen reminds me of pretty tyrolean ribbon, though it wasn’t intentional.

the strap, though nothing fancy, turned out exactly as i wanted, so i’m glad i decided to make my own.  installing rivets was fun and easy to do once i figured out how hard to hammer them in so i wouldn’t mar the surface of the rivet.  and despite the simplicity of the process, the result is really professional-looking.  i definitely see more rivets in the future…

(so i admit– i just want to hammer in more rivets.  they’re addicting!)

カシメ止めが無事終了し、やっと新作が出来上がりました。今回は春のお花を刺繍したハンドバッグ。落ちついた青緑色のリネンに施したカラフルな刺繍はどこかチロリアンな雰囲気になりました。

こだわった持ち手は決して凝っている物ではありませんが、思い通りの仕上がりになったので、自作して正解。カシメは打つ時の力加減が分かれば、取り付けるのは意外と簡単でした。専用道具を揃えれば、カシメの表面を傷つけること無くできます。それに見た目も本格的。これは出番が増えそう．．．！

（打つのが楽しくてたくさん付けたい、それもあるけどね）

    Your embroidery is exquisite. The strap is perfect for this piece. It is most satisfying to find that you can do a new process.
