More Tapestry Tote Bags

This past weekend I sewed up the rest of this lovely moss green tapestry fabric into three more tote bags. One of them is for sale in my EmerlyeArts.Etsy shop.

Yay! I've finished up all the fabric now and I can't wait to go to Burlington VT for some more. There's nothing more fun than going to a fabric store and having license to buy something!

Notes from the Studio...

Coming up:
Jan 19 - Feb 16: I will be teaching an evening class at Artistree in Woodstock on "Creating an Internet Presence" for artists, crafters, and small business persons. If you want to sell your services or wares today you must have a presence online. This class will cover the basics of branding, blogs & websites, social media, and such. See the Artistree website for more.

I would love your feedback!
Normally I post versions of my work here every day or two so you can see how projects develop. I have always found other people's process interesting, so I will show you mine as well.

Please share with others:
Beneath each post is a little "share this" button. Click it and choose how you would like to share these goodies with others. I would especially like submissions to StumbleUpon. Pretty please.

A note about copying:
You will notice that I have added watermark signatures to most of my images. This is because my Tynt program tells me many people are copying my work.

I don't mind you copying my images for non-commercial purposes. However, if you place them on the internet (in your blog, website, document, etc.) please reference me and make the image a link to this blog or to my EmerlyeArts.com website. Merci.

What is the Movie Count?
Quite often when I show you something I've been working on, I write "This is a two-movie creation" or a one-movie, or three-movie, etc. This just means that it took that many movies to produce what I'm showing. You see, much of my creative work is done in my Night Studio (a beat-up couch in front of the tv where I watch movies and draw, paint, sew, or whatever.) I am constantly working on something but at the end of the day I just want to put my feet up to do it. But I can't just sit there and watch movies; I have to be doing something with my hands - hence, the movie calculus.
