like a distant tree

tonight, instead of going out, I plan to take out the sewing machine and see what I can do with an age-old leather skirt I got at the flea market for the mere price of 1€... with this Maison Martin Margiela clutch in mind.

I finally got around to making a ring out of an agate slice my dad bought me years ago from a trip down the French Alps. the problem was that I couldn't find a ring base robust enough for the large stone from anywhere, well, until this past Friday when I found a great sterling silver ring base. 

the ring is so good I don't want to take it off my finger.

corrupt without being charming

I promised a glimpse of the little sewing project a while back, so here we go.

it's a stupid little bag that was meant to resemble a football (got the idea from this bless football bag) but the fake leather I used was a little too thick.

I know the outcome would have been totally different and better had I used actual leather, thin black suede for example, but I'm happy with the thing anyway. the only problem is that it looks stupid empty and that nothing really fits in there....but never mind that.

I'm off to spending my 19th birthday right now ++ will be back with photos of some beautiful things I pampered myself with earlier today :-)))
