A Little Eye Candy, A Load of Inspiration
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008Cakes, mmmmmmmm cakes! Cakes have been an inspiration for my line in recent years. Layering fabrics for texture, color, and the small details that are traits of a Nelle bag also our needed to create a beautiful cakes. Almost anyone can make a cake, and in that regard almost anyone can make a bag, but it is the style and design that takes a bag from being just a bag into something a bit more delicious.
Funny thing about cakes is that I am not a big fan of eating them, never have been, but the decoration and thought that goes into creating one blows me away. I have taken a cake decorating course, and for my recent anniversary I received the MS cake decorating kit. And though I try to emulate my cake decorating hero’s, my cake decorating skills leave much to be desired. So, instead I channel that interest into my handbag design. This is why I often say that my bags are sweet little calorie-free treats. I let a little secret slip, my hope is that when you discover my clutches and handbags your mouth will water!
