To Think Big - Kathleen Dustin’s Bags and Quotes

Handbags and purses have often fallen into the “been there, done that” mentality for true innovative fashion lovers. That is, until Kathleen Dustin’s artistic handbags came along which combine art and fashion to create unique, beautiful and fashionable accessories.

Now, I offer you to enjoy the views of this art and to read the authors mind.

“Unfortunately, sometimes we think that in order to make any money doing what we do, we have to do “affordable” work, or work that is popular. I’m not convinced that we have to think small in order to make a living and in fact, we may make a better living if we occasionally think “museum stuff” — meaning work we would like to have in a museum or a conoisseur’s collection someday.”

“Thinking big takes risk. What if we spend all this time on one piece and it looks lousy when we’re done? What if nobody likes it?”
Everything worthwhile in life requires risk.”

”Thinking big also takes perseverence.If you keep making things, just keep doing it, just keep working and the ideas will come, you’ll keep getting better and better!”

“Thinking big takes work. Well, unless you are willing to work at it you’ll just have to realize that your work will never be that good and you may not be as successful financially or artistically as you might like. That’s OK, you just have to understand that.”
