I had both Tuesday & Wednesday off completely this week, so I decided to spend the whole time doing studio work. I have a lot of little projects waiting for attention and a lot of little tasks that I need to work on, so I was looking forward to crossing things off the list. But as soon as I got to the studio on Tuesday, I could tell it was going to be a battle all day. I just couldn’t think much… I had the dumb. So I moped around a bit and then worked on some other geeky projects that have nothing to do with ish (fixing a couple x-ray light boxes… yay! and at least stuck out my time there, hopefully exorcising some of the demons. Well it worked. Wednesday was start-to-finish what a typical day at the studio should be like. Days like that make me believe that I could spend days on end in the studio, though I know half of the days would be like Tuesday. I really wanted to tackle a new project, so I made a Cordura version of the c2 bag. I considered starting the backpack, but I don’t have enough fabric to justify that right now. I am really happy with the way the c2 came out, but I’m even happier that I was able to start & finish it completely within a day. I built it as a no-frills prototype with no external pockets & absolutely no decorative elements at all, both things that slow down the process a little bit. Overall it is a good achievement to balance out the underachievement of Tuesday.
