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

Well, the first bag (by squarejane) is done. She'll be mailing it tomorrow. Here are the pictures she took.

My own version would have been more three-dimensional, but I think this one turned out well. It's nice to see how other people interpret the idea. I think it would be really hard to find someone who could pull off what's in my head, so I think it was more important to find people who were excited to make it, then let them make it in the way they're good at. I'm eager to see what the other two come up with, so we'll see when they can fit my project in.

That's not what I had envisioned, either, but I appreciate her take on the idea.

Charles, I'm not sure anyone can pull off what's in your head.

Ha ha, I mean that as a compliment!

I like it, but the vision I had in my head would have had loopy and dangly bits pooping out all over it.

I appreciate your choice of words.

Yeah, not really what I had in mind, either. You're going to have quite a collection of these things, aren't you?

Maybe. We'll see how many get made before I'm onto the next thing (which is looking like custom coins, as soon as I can think of a good idea for my own currency).

Easy! Buy your own island and start your own mini-empire. Make gummi coins. People will either be fat or rich!

A bit 'purse like' as I originally thought you were after a shopping type bag but I do like the face. The snakes seem a bit thrown together like she spent a lot of time on the face but the snakes were rushed in afterthought. All in all, a good beta project.

Honest opinion, hope you don't mind.

Hey, if you find someone who makes custom coins, I'd consider commissioning one with a figure head on one side and a whale on the other. "Heads or Whales."

Why?
My brother's girlfriend is a marine biologist who specializes in whales. Last Christmas I got a trophy base made then added a whale with a golf ball glued to it's blow hole. The inscription read "The sea was angry that day, my friend!" You must be a "Seinfeld" fan to appreciate the humor.

I don't mind. The bag in my head is a bit more badass, less cartoonish.
