Gotta Start Somewhere

The first projects I want to share are some early ones that I'm not exactly happy with. Remember the galaxy print on everything craze? Being some who's fascinated with space, I was all over that trend.

I tried my hand at customizing a pair of shoes with acrylic paint, and while I felt satisfied with the results, I never wore them out. So, was I truly Satisfied with them? Looking at them now, I see a couple of things I would do differently. It's not bad that I feel this way and I'm criticizing my past work, it means that I'm learning and improving my skills.

This drawstring bag would have turned out great if it weren't for the sad, limp bat wings. The first time around, I stuffed the wings making them look weird and puffy. They were already attached to the bag, so I had to cut the wings open to remove the stuffing. It didn't improve the look or structure for the wings, but it looked better than before. On the bright side, this bag held up well in mosh pits and I'm still obsessed with the galaxy print lining.
