Production line in the factory.
Do you ever get that feeling that you work in a factory producing the same thing over and over and over....over....again?
I love my work and can actually say NO! I do not feel like that! I look at my work space and see that all around me is my life. I don't have a studio I have a dinning room table.
My fabrics are kept in these plastic drawers and see that cupboard door.....DONT OPEN IT! As you will be under an avalanche of yet more fabric! I keep all my ribbons in the hamper basket and buttons, beads and all those other essential bits and bobs in another cupboard...oh yes this one!
The other reason that I don't feel like my work is like a production line is because of the material I use. I maybe making the same things but as I use a lot of recycled fabrics, the colour combinations change and that's what keeps it exciting. Sad I know but I actually get rather excited about whether this button goes with that fabric or will floral go with stripes! Makes it all more unique.
I am not sure the boys thought the same as I was making 35 Japanese brooches!
Upstairs a whole new world was being created.....

I also work with recycled fabrics and it is so true that it stops things getting boring. Choosing matching ribbons and elastic is my favourite part too.
