Loki Tote

I am currently making a tote for a fellow geek and friend, she is particularly excited about the character Loki who features in Marvel's Thor and Avengers, as well as in the movies....


This character is from Norse Mythology, and the actor who has portrayed Loki in the latest movies, is one Tom Hiddleston, a fine young British actor who has a voice that can melt a stone! (I am also a fan of his, in case you didn't catch that already... lol...)

One day as we were talking, I mentioned to her that I was making myself a Doctor Who Patchwork tote, showed her a picture of a sample of it and before you knew it we got talking and throwing out ideas... and that was the conception of the Loki-bag... lol....

I've been working on the patches for a while now, and am just finishing putting it all together. It's been really really fun, and this project has certainly challenged my creative juices!! But I think I have succeeded in making something that is pretty cool, and as long as Kat (the future owner) is happy.... I am happy.

The finishing touches have not been captured on film (so to speak) as of yet, but as soon as I get it done I will post it.... At any rate, it's been a fun project and I've learned many things about the creative process, what works for me, how I work creating things... it's been really interesting. And I'll admit it's been not all "smooth sailing"... But that's all part of the journey I suppose!
