I don’t have anything I can put this under for this season (I only have zaps left, and this definitely isn’t a zap. It I would qualify as several research projects based on time). But I still wanted to share it here. I love how it turned out!

So colorful! Love how the black fabric makes the colors pop! 
I’m down to two last prompts and zaps too. I’m submitting projects with the zaps anyway even though the projects are not less than 30 minutes.

Twinchies are 2" x 2" artworks.

Project Link: Phoenix Kimono Remake Dress & Clutch Purse
Brief Description: I didn’t make the long ropey detachable chain for this clutch purse, but I did use some wired rope-style embellishment to hide the gap between the purse frame and the fabric covered shell.

So, completing projects and just listing them in your head doesn’t actually score you any points. And it turns out my computer isn’t telepathic.
