Sometimes I Feel Like a Talentless Hack

I love making bags. I have bags that swim around in my head. I think of things and see parts of bags and pieces of bags and wristlets and coin purses wherever I go. I see people on the street and while I do the superficial check of their clothing, I almost immediately go to their bag. I love bags. And yet I feel like I have no original thoughts about bags. I see other people's designs and think, "oh, I could make that," which is ANATHEMA to any designer and yet I can't seem to come up with any original designs of my own. Maybe someday, but apparently not anytime in this decade. Or probably the next. That's probably why I don't sell anything on etsy.

Thanks for letting me be such a big baby....
