it's all about the journey

Back during the summer, i got the most hideously ugly, but somehow sooo very intriguing vintage curtains while thrifting,.Printed all over them are various images of "antiquated" modes of travel...they really are horrible in the best possible way. Over time, i also collected some equally hideous old upholstery fabric. A few days ago, it occurred to me that those two pieces of ugliness needed to be married into something new. Thus, the fabulous new "journey" bag was born: It is lined in olive green cotton (also thrifted) and has a strap made of braided ribbons. Inside are two 'secret pockets" made with more old timey transportation fabric. This bag was HARD for me..thse are NOT my colours and don't fall in my pallete "comfort zone" i fear that this may actually be very hideous, yet somehow, i still like it because it challenged me to think outside my ususal box, plus it is constructed a little differently. This is DEFINITELY a VERY different type of creation for me to attempt.
