Another Artist I love…

I knew I liked Jen of Seat of My Pants  when she got hopelessly lost on the way to the gallery.  (O.K., that’s not entirely true…I knew I liked her the moment I saw her bags.  They are great–fun, trendy, stylish–see for yourself below.)  But getting lost is right up my alley too.   

Then she sealed my admiration with the promise of a great custom bag for my lenses and odds and ends I carry to weddings and on-location sessions.  I mentioned my desire for this type of bag, and Jen went to work.  Within a few hours she sent me a message with tons of fabric choices…I could hardly contain myself.  Dave has ordered one too…an all black more manly style.  (Try as I may, I couldn’t talk him into a nice damask.)   

I finally decided on black for most of my bag with this fabric for the outer wrap part.  It’s going to be a messenger style with lots of pockets and padded areas for the lenses.   I can hardly wait!  As soon as it’s complete, I will post pictures.  Not only will it make my job easier, imagine how great it’ll look slung over my shoulder… 

Take a look at the bags she’s already custom made for the gallery.  (These photos are taken from her blog with permission.) 

Did you notice the small loops hanging from the bags?  Those are Seat of My Pants Key Fobs.  Jen describes them as making “your keys easy to find, easy to wear, and super cute.”  I would agree with that, wouldn’t you?  Here’s one close up:

 

In honor of spring time fabrics, accepting myself as directionally challenged, and being able to find my keys…thanks to Jen at Seat of My Pants. 

Stop in anytime to see Jen’s bags and other artists’ work.  We are adding new pieces almost daily.  Now, if I could just find the time to blog about them…
