Some months ago, out of my "wish" that for a change I should not buy but win a bag from Hidesign, I entered into a design contest wherein we were given scraps of leather and participants will have to make something out of it. We collected by kit from the Hidesign store at EA only to sit in my headboard for months together. Then came the deadline and I was getting emails after emails from the organizers. But I was sick! And I have no idea what to do. In fact, am not even aware of what all are in that bag. And then, the deadline was extended for a week...its like,, they're waiting for ME! So, despite my pain, I opened the packet and lo and behold...scraps of leather in two tones of brown. What am I to do with these??? To my surprise, in less than an hour, I was proudly showing my designs to my husband who was busy working on the computer. I made a headband and two hairclips out of the two-toned brown leather scraps! I am very proud of myself that I vowed to enter my pieces in the competition which means taking good photographs of it and submitting it back to Hidesign at EA. I may not win a bag, and end up buying one just the same but the thought that there is nothing impossible in turning something that we may consider waste into something beautiful and useful is enough for me.
