Thank you. I looked at the economics of it — probably not viable 🙁

I like making them. I’m not a handbag person as such. Though as my current bag is falling to bits, I will have to seriously start looking for an alternative.

Fab!!!! Yes, YES and Y.E.S.S
Reminds me of my times of unbridled creativity. I did bags too, but also saw(ed?) clothes, a whole house for my son (can’t even believe I tackled that), and anything anybody wanted or needed.
I’m glad I did all that while I could. I also love that you state here, loud and clear, that ART MATTERS indeed. Have another loud and profound YES for that. I couldn’t live without.

We are so on the same page here. A world without art is unimaginable, yet artists struggle so much to fund, produce and sell work.

I know. I also have a great number of professional musicians who struggle
I feel terribly for them and we can’t help them.

What an upside-down world, where artists who bring joy struggle, and those who trade in misery can become billionaires.

Thank you. The friend whose studio I photographed is a wonderful teacher. I love seeing how her students (adult and children) blossom.

Art is a mode of expressing thoughts and ideas for people who are not that vocal. Their art speaks for them. Create art wherever possible because artists are born, not made..
I am not a great artist myself but I try whenever I get some time..

It’s a great quote, and just gets to the heart of why we need art. Glad you still like the bag.
