Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Medusa's head as a tote bag

That last one seems like a real winner CV. She seems to have a sense for how the fabric texture and colour will add to the overall work.

Amen, my brother.

wtf... ?

Well, the pressure's on to have the bags turn out well. I sent Marina a message about the idea, and how I was thinking of giving her one. Then I reconsidered and decided the thing that should happen is she should take the idea, get with a designer she likes, and have a version of the bag made to be sold as part of her official merchandise. Since she seems to like ancient Greece and outlandish fashion choices, it seemed like a good fit. I told her that she could still have one of the bags I'm having made, but that she should consider having her own made when she's propelled into superstar status. She responded and said she would love to have one of the bags, that she's not ready for merch quite yet but probably would be in about 6 weeks, and it would be great to have a sample to show people. How cool is that? It would so neat to have an idea of mine live out there in the world instead of just in my house or my head.

Excellent!

The world braces!

I guess that should have been "It would be so neat [...]" I keep dropping words or making horrible typos when chatting with people these days.

And yeah, here's hoping the world can take a joke.

Let's say I wanted to make my own version of the bag, even though I have no skillz. Does anyone know where I can buy hollow plastic female heads that can easily be cut in half (so I can modify them to open, perhaps accordion-style)? I was thinking of twining old, unused computer cables to form the snakes. I'll have to find some inspiration for the snake heads. As for Medusa's facial features, I'll have to think of what I can do to a generic female face, assuming I can even find any that would serve the purpose.

Not panning out with the artists, huh?

Oh, it's fine. The first bag is almost done. Or it could be done. She said she would probably be done tonight, and she'll mail it on Monday. I don't know when the other two will be able to start their versions. For some reason I still feel like I should try to make something myself.
