headband& giant doll (and clutch advice needed)

[cutout.livejournal.com]

So... I am in this swap on craftster, for which I had to make a clutch bag, and I have done so, but am overwhelmed by swap anxiety. Opinions much appreciated.

Also, so it's not just whingeing, I have included pictures of a fleecey headband I made with headphones on, and a giant and disgusting doll.





this is the clutch. flash makes everything look repulsive. How do you guys get such good photos of the things you make? do you have teenywee studios? I realise now there is no size ref... it's 22 cm wide. I cant help thinking that it is utter rubbish and looks like a pencil case. Pleeease any opinions appreciated, and things I could maybe do to improve it, or even bluntly say you hate it, i will get over it. I just dont wanna send and be embarrassed forever. But i know i can't be impartial about things I make. blah blah? blah.

Oh and here is the headphone earband I made, because my ears get cold and sore in the icy winds. As you can tell, I have a beautiful face.





Aaand the horrible doll.





with my (6ft2!) little bro





It sleeps in my bed, and is (natch) my lover. Hogs the duvet though.
