For years so many of my friends have been bugging me about wearing some of my own work, but it seems like most of the time I am going places where  I may not want to wear a scarf or wrap!  Then on those occasions that would work for me to wear one of my pieces I don't!  Part of that is because, as I am sure allot of artists feel the same way,  I am so busy making pieces that I can put up so sell that I don't take the time to make something for my own.  What a mistake, especially since I have learned that when I do wear something of my own design I could sell it right off my body!  Well, I needed a new purse for spring/summer, so I decided to felt the fabric I would use.  This was really an exercise in experimentation!  I completed the purse about a month ago and have been using it every time I leave the house!  I have potentially sold that purse at least half a dozen times!  Needless to say, I will be adding felted purses to my line up of new products!  It pays to self advertise! 

I have spent so much of my time recently on marketing PRK Designs on various sites and groups that I haven't started any new projects until yesterday!  I went to the LA Fiber Guild meeting this weekend and was asked what projects I was working on.  I said I haven't had anything going for a while and one of the members asked "how can you stand it", well I can't !  Hence, I started a new felting project yesterday!  Going to create one of those purses I was talking about!  Will let you know when it is finished and up on the site, unless I decide to keep it of course!  Until then......................
