Dude, i am spending, like, way too much time on this crochet bag project (aka "debaser"). This morning, before going in to my studio to work on anti-factory, I spent about four hours updating the bag website, which has become yet one more little mouth for me to feed, demanding my attention and enslaving me into its folds. I am such a sucker for new projects. My boyfriend sometimes jokes that I may get hypertension if I don't watch it--i get totally absorbed and obsessed with going "all the way" with things. Everything is about time time time and cramming in as much as possible into every waking hour, multi-tasking, and being "productive". I get a high from it, but then again, i know i should just sloooooow down sometimes and not be so hard on myself to constantly...do stuff. or make stuff, whatever.

But then again, it's become such a large part of my identity--the "making" is what defines me and as my own boss and harshest critic, it's hard to ever feel satisfied. I don't know why i'm going on about this except that sometimes i think i should just stop and smell the proverbial roses sometimes. now that's an idea!

Oh but wait, on to what i wanted to talk about before i went on and on about obsession. I posted some grid diagrams on Debaser (not to be confused with *dendrite* aka hungry mouth timesuck #2) where I made possible Fendi and Gucci logo patterns--you know, the fabric on the bags that has all the little logos on 'em. Yes, one more thing I actually worked out in Adobe Illustrator like an anal retentive person. I swear!



Last night I finished one side of a Gucci bag. Will post more when I feel more obsessive and anal retentive, which will probably be tomorrow morning!
