Title: A suitcase made from scrapsTeaser:I tried to stop creating to save money.Instead, I made a suitcase out of leftovers and tiny pieces everyone else would throw away.Post:I disappeared from Boosty for two months.

And the funny part is — right before that, I finally turned on paid subscriptions.

Luckily nobody subscribed while I was hiding in the bushes with my existential crisis.

For these two months I was trying very hard to “be reasonable.”

Spend less. Buy no leather. Save money for a Griffon.

Spoiler: I still only have half the amount.

But I also learned something uncomfortable:

life becomes strangely dull when I stop making things.

So I started digging through my boxes of scraps, failed cuts, weird leftovers and tiny pieces I once saved “just in case.”

And somehow all of that turned into this mosaic suitcase.

Honestly, it feels a little like my current state of mind.

Chaotic. Stubborn. Made from whatever was left.

But still alive.

Apparently even during hard times my hands keep looking for ways to make a little handmade magic.
