<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This Friday, I met up with my friend for the 2nd time for our Leatherworking Projects!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I couldn't get to my Dior bag because I need to buy some punching tools.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once I get those handles on, the Granville Bag will be done!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway~ So this week, I worked on the lining of my Chanel Logo Shopper Bag!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started this a while ago... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was able to cut all the pieces of the lining, and attach all the sides together. If I find some spare time, I will finish the bottom and attach that too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Really happy to be able to spend some time working on these!</div>

Following a fun Tarot Coaching session, I decided to re-engage in my Leatherwork Projects! Today, I invited my new friend who also has interest in leatherwork, so we had a really cool Leatherwork Wednesday!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First, we went to a leather market in Dongmyo. Got some threads, bond eraser, pattern paper, etc. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My friend made a covering for her Shaomi Battery. She used vegetable-leather (how we call it in Korea). Apparently this type of leather is more expensive than the real leather! And she showed me how you can coat the inside of it, to avoid having to add an inside fabric. </div>

I started out by preparing the 2 pieces for the clutch bag. Spent a lot of time today, just trying to remember how I did things before! We joked that we aren't a leather studio, we're a 'lab' experimenting to see if things work or not! LOL~!! </div>

After some experimentation, I had to patch things up because my skiving machine ate up some of the red fabric! But this will be on the inside, so I decided not to sweat it...<br />

After the 2 pieces were attached. The zipper took a lot of effort today.<br />
I didn't have the right tools to pull out the unwanted zipper teeth. I will need to get a plier for doing that, as well as a metal hammer to set the zipper ends. Today I resorted to using one of the punching tools which was heavy metal block, but it took a while and wasn't the best way of doing things...<br />

Pony hide was rather slippery and the tiny little bristles got in the way of stitching on the machine. So the lines ended up being wonky! Will need more practice to get it straight. </div>

The Effect on the Asymmetric load of Bag Weights for Dynamic Postural Stability Index & Center of Pressure Variables during Level Walking<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.dbpia.co.kr/Journal/ArticleDetail/NODE02437706">[Thesis] Asymmetric Bag Weight & Posture (Center of Pressure)</a><br /><br /><br />This purpose of this study was to analyze the effect on the asymmetric load of bag weights for dynamic postural stability index & Center of Pressure variables during level walking. Participants selected as subject were consisted of young women(n=10), divided into the kinds of 3 bag weights(0kg, 3kg, 5kg).. Analyzed GRF variables during gait were medial-lateral (ML), anterior-posterior(AP), vertical(V), dynamics postural stability index(DPSI), ΔCOPx, ΔCOPy, COP area, medial-lateral(M-L), anterior-posterior(A-P) deviation of venter of pressure. The results analyzed from the above were as follows; 1. MLSI, APSI, VSI and DPSI didn`t show significant different statistically according to increase of bag weights, But, 5kg bag weight showed more decrease in dynamics postural stability index than that 0kg, 3kg bag weights during level walking. 2. Among variables of center of pressure, 5kg bag weight showed more linear relationship in pathway than that of 0kg, 3kg bag weights in ΔCOPx. Also, COP area showed increasing tendency according to decrease of bag weights. 3. M-L COPD didn`t show significant different statistically according to increase of bag weights, finally A-P COPD showed significant difference statistically in dynamic postural according to increase of bag weights.</div>

<br />
The aims of this study is to decide optimal weight and taking methods a satchel with analyzing walking posture and energy expenditure in case of several weights of satchel. The subjects were selected at random 10 children of 10 years old from some element schools located in Hirazuka City, Kanakawa-Ken, Japan. It made an experiment in natural walking on the tread-mill at 60M per minutes with a following condition: that is (1) walking without and loading (2) walking with taking on back a satchel loading of 2, 4, 6, 8㎏.

Once the logos were imprinted in your brain...</div>

Mostly starting with the bags, they'd invariably begin appearing in other products and with various new effects and visual treatments.</div>

And that's how the BRANDING happened fast & furious.<br />
These days, the logo prints are not as 'hot' ...<br />
<br />
The new game in town it seems is playing with the structure and silhouette of the bags. And with the additive elements like Fendi's colorful and decorative straps.<br />

I really wanted to find a video that showed how the gold LV logos were printed on leather... but I couldn't find any. The closest I could get was the imprinted LV logos.</div>

Basically, they use a machine to do this... I bet they do the same for the gold ones...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's funny how life comes full circle...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A couple of years ago, I was at the Lotte Department Store in Myungdong with my bestie. She was really hung up on Chanel Boy Bag, I was really in love with Dior's Granville bag. We ended up leaving the stores, after bowing courteously to the bags, laughing that we can't afford you right now... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And now, I'm actually about two thirds of the way finished making the Dior Granville bag of my own! @_@~!! Good heavens, right?!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, we started with some research. Easy enough, there were several photos of Granville online. Too bad the department stores have stopped carrying them...</div>

Made the patterns for the front and bottom. And made some markings with a silver pen on my leather. I'm still a novice at making bags, so after some discussion with my Sensei, we decided it best for me to use stitches instead of sculpting the leather. Maybe some day, I'll learn how to do that. He called it "mori" in Korean... </div>

Machine stitching for the geometric lines... I got a lot better at making the straight lines straight... Sadly my front and back sides show a visible gap on how crooked versus how straight the lines are. Going to have to use the worse side as the back... </div>

After connecting the bottom and the front and back, hand-pressing the gold "feet"... That's what we sorta call it in Korean. We call it "sokkobal"...<br />

They are the right mix of classic (a la Hermes Kelly in silhouette) with a highly pedestrian detailing in the whipstitched edges (a la Converse sneakers laces! or a baseball's red stitches). For urban fashionistas, this is a great bag for dressy casual and even boho casual styling...<br />

From my research thus far, there have been many designer bags that used this whip stitch. Me personally, I didn't know it at the time, but, I did have a YSL Reversible Neo Shopper Bag which also had these "whipstitches" as a design element. I really loved that Neo bag, as it was extremely versatile in both the inside and out being totally different, as well as how the shoulder strap could be used in different ways. It was lightweight, held all my work stuff including books, umbrella, cardigan, and A4 paper. It was very urban and pedestrian, perfect streetstyle chic; it went with all my clothes!</div>

Anywho... So, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the whipstitch actually surfaced in Chanel's bag(s) and Alexander McQueen's bags most notably.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, here are all of the various Chanel bags with whipstitching in them. Some are vintage and dates back to a couple decades ago, and the last two are fresh new ones~</div>

I wonder though, if Alexander McQueen actually came up with the use of whipstitches as a "selling point" before Fendi... I think Fendi did an amazing job marketing it and making it a total sensation (I'm sure Karl Lagerfeld's genius is at work here...) but I remember how McQueen had these crazy dark mysterious deep yet funky campaigns well before anyone took interest in Amish slash Goth inspirations...</div>

OK. Anywho~ Let's look at McQueen's whipstitched bags next...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love how wonderfully simple they are. They totally look like the prototypes for me of whipstitches making it into bag designs. Especially in the first black and white one, you can see how it's even a simpler form of the Fendi peekaboo whipstitch, down to its placement on the side edges...</div>

Stella McCartney's been selling these heavy metallic embellished bags for years now... Even though here, the whipstitch is more of a sidekick than Hero... Seriously, well done Fendi for completely hitting the sweetspot on the use of whipstitches...</div>

Gucci hobo bag with whipstitches on the side... Not really sure I like this design as much. The overall shaping and leather sheen here echoes Furla's signature designs too much. If it hadn't been for the wooden handle, I might not have suspected it was Gucci at all...</div>

Burberry came up with this *confused* bag... I am sure this appeals to some ladies who like pragmatic yet rugged look, but it looks too cluttered for me... It's too casual to bring it to work, and overworked even... Yet too hardhitting to wear with ease for an actual weekend leisure outfit... I guess it's great for airport fashion when you need a sturdy bag to carry everything? Not versatile enough in my humble opinion...</div>

These are just too small for me to carry on a daily basis. The second design is much nicer, but it feels girly meets countryside to me. Not urban enough.</div>

LOL~ Even Michael Kors is doing it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is quieter, compared with McQueen, feels more minimalist but country in comparison to Chloe Hudson with whipstitching...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every Wednesday, my boss (also my Mom) and her friend get together to reform unused goods into something amazing... I am joining them on a project to reform my favorite dress into a bag! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Before Pic: Here is my pinstriped dress</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
. . . which will now better serve me as a new bag~ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fabric is a little bit stretchy and also bumpy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
* * *</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Making of the Bag, Process Pics</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 1: Cut off the bottom half of the dress</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSIYOhguyBlG6MnGcrw-JgOXPi41HHgh1eGPE0kvJj8f5_DofL6Z0VOGXp5xxWEJ981eW7t3PmPHqyb6TQjNb_Ty90dbC4cHP2y77PVAnBTfrW3HfUO4g_6Qvz5tI63cY-nPS0Voy_vY/s1600/marsgirl+designs+reform+a+dress+to+a+bag+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfSIYOhguyBlG6MnGcrw-JgOXPi41HHgh1eGPE0kvJj8f5_DofL6Z0VOGXp5xxWEJ981eW7t3PmPHqyb6TQjNb_Ty90dbC4cHP2y77PVAnBTfrW3HfUO4g_6Qvz5tI63cY-nPS0Voy_vY/s320/marsgirl+designs+reform+a+dress+to+a+bag+002.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut off right below the arm pits to get full use of my dress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need a large carry all tote for my leather school projects.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It will hold all my tools, pattern papers, as well as the bag in the making.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 2: Cut out details to decorate the front of the bag</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgP0j063Inh4A4HZx7S3R6HL6JzBfm7DHOtPSbmStIuXRS42IEQ45WVMMhDTzVsxn4AT34urA5T1_Zx91bBoXasZ-7fYni1yxLQBg-4WfCLyfnT8Jv2A0iz0912cWaqo1IF7UwbfJNDas/s1600/marsgirl+designs+reform+a+dress+to+a+bag+003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgP0j063Inh4A4HZx7S3R6HL6JzBfm7DHOtPSbmStIuXRS42IEQ45WVMMhDTzVsxn4AT34urA5T1_Zx91bBoXasZ-7fYni1yxLQBg-4WfCLyfnT8Jv2A0iz0912cWaqo1IF7UwbfJNDas/s320/marsgirl+designs+reform+a+dress+to+a+bag+003.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here, you can see the ivory goat leather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One side is moderately shiny, the other side is soft velvety texture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was very easy to cut. It was like cutting into cheese!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step 3: The major pieces for the bag cut out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhppxSvNXGezl-wVjEk1OWnnaJYiYEUJE3nvyM5UXhWQH6Pjre1BgXzQ_XP9gicl4BP68NBF82dGBDpdFw3kEGfNHKB05LypG3zlb5Tu3Y7nySgBubhhPaTuuLpjCcy4PV4WJR_mrtVfLY/s1600/marsgirl+designs+reform+a+dress+to+a+bag+004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhppxSvNXGezl-wVjEk1OWnnaJYiYEUJE3nvyM5UXhWQH6Pjre1BgXzQ_XP9gicl4BP68NBF82dGBDpdFw3kEGfNHKB05LypG3zlb5Tu3Y7nySgBubhhPaTuuLpjCcy4PV4WJR_mrtVfLY/s320/marsgirl+designs+reform+a+dress+to+a+bag+004.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I now have the front and sides of the bag already pieced together (because it was cut out from a dress!). The front logo detail ready to be sewn, and the bottom is also ready for sewing. I cut out 2 more pieces from the ivory goat leather for shoulder straps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next steps: I will go to the Dongmyo market to get some gold metal pieces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will need the shoulder chains, 4 donut rings, and 5 tiny legs for the bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so excited for this bag!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More to come...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After the Hermes Birkin bag, the second bag we were taught to make is a Boston style bag. I don't really favor the shape and dimensions of a Boston bag. They look like old lady bag to me! :P </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I decided to really stretch it by making mine into a briefcase style shoulder bag. It's really barely a Boston bag... But still, it was rather exciting to create my own pattern and design for this project!</div>

<br />
She was frantically rummaging around her everyday bag, but couldn't find what she was looking for. Monsieur Hermes CEO told her maybe she needed a bag with pockets and section dividers. She agreed and requested a bag to be made by Hermes...<br />
<br />
Apparently, every year since, Hermes made a new design of Birkin bag and sent her one as a gift, but she didn't keep a collection of them like Victoria Beckham who is reputed to own the largest number of Hermes bags... Jane just gave the old one away when she got the new one.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Jane Birkin then & now, and the black Birkin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
* * *</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, what I find so smashingly ironic about this whole affair is that Birkin's personal style and her style philosophy are so counter culture to everything that Hermes as a brand stands for and promotes! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Jane Birkin's sense of style and aesthetic preferences run more towards being free-spirited, and has a laid back French chic quality to it. She was a parallel icon to Brigitte Bardot for letting her hair all loose and unkempt. She often walked the streets barefoot, also like Bardot. She would often forgo wearing a bra even. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Suffice to say, we find Jane's efforts to make peace with the Birkin bag that Hermes created... Some call it, "defacing the Hermes bag," others call it, "personalizing" or "customizing" the bag. But whichever it may be, it is clear that she was not comfortable with carrying the Hermes Birkin bag as is. And she was vocal about it too.</div>

Jane Birkin with her basket bag, then the "defaced Birkin" bag - back view</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
She is said to have asked for the bag to be made of other materials:</div>
<div style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666; font-style: italic;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-small;">“I keep saying to Hermès to make it out of plastic or cardboard,</span></i></div>
</i><i><div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-small;">then it wouldn’t be so heavy. But if people want to go for the real thing, fine. </span></i></div>
</i><i><div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #e06666; font-family: inherit; font-size: xx-small;">If they go for copies, that’s fine too. I really don’t think it matters...”</span></i></div>
</i></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think this just shows how Birkin would have preferred it. After she carried the Birkin bag and having lived with it. And it's interesting too, how even though Birkin herself would have wanted a different version of a Birkin bag, the Birkin bag that Hermes came up with is now considered the most economically investment-worthy designer bag... And how so many Hollywood celebrities are into collecting it, and how they see it as a gem de la gem of their wardrobe estate!</span></div>
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, this last bit here then, is what I personally felt was in a way even more fascinating than the Birkin bag itself, in terms of a personal style statement that is... :)<br />

What an amazing idea!<br />
The bag doubles as an apron with pockets for various tools<br />
and and a bag that carries the tools and other items!<br />
<br />
Just came across this bag on Facebook ad~~<br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-small;"><i><b>My First Leather Bag, Handmade | at Limberti Leather School, Seoul</b></i></span></div>
<br />
I was going through a career transition from teaching EFL students in Seoul, and moving into a fashion, image, and psychology based practice in 2015. I was invited by my Mom to take some courses that summer in Art Therapy and also a highly recommended meditation workshop series led by Mr Song SH. He was affiliated with the Buddhist learning center, and the workshop was centered around "Meeting Your Own Inner Mentor" and "Creating Your Own Inner Paradise." I missed out on the first class, but was able to attend the one where I met my "Inner Mentor."<br />
<br />
I was trying to finalize a few decisions around having my own startup business then, so I asked my Inner Mentor on what advice he could give me regarding my career. My Inner Mentor was a Middle Eastern guy (yeah, much to my surprise!) and we were sitting in a vineyard. He totally had the vibe of an INTJ (in MBTI types...) and he didn't speak much, just listened well. And the "answer" came, and it was just so "random" but basically, it was that I should look up "leather working" or "leather studio" (in Korean).<br />
<br />
So I did.<br />
<br />
And I found one reliable place that seemed like a good fit for me. And went to check it out. And by October, I was enrolled and began the course. I had to take a two week leave to Dubai to get trained in Image Consulting by Michelle Sterling (Sterling Style Academy of NYC), so it was really odd and interesting how the whole "Middle Eastern" influence touched my life in this period. Up until this point, I really had little exposure to most things Middle Eastern. The only thing that I had a "fascination" for was Omar Borkan al Gala...<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first bag I was taught was a Birkin 35. I can't share too much details on what they're teaching me because we sign a contract when we enroll. I understand their position on this, so I'm going to carefully select what I CAN and can't share on my blog. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The second bag I'm working on, right now, is a Boston bag. It was cool because I could design my own pattern this time. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of all the designer bags I've owned (probably like ten of them?) Dior saddle bag was the only one that I really loved. It was a little bit small for my daily use, but it remained my favorite. My friend is into the Chanel Boy Bag (Would you believe how surprised I was that the lady who designed it is one of our teachers here? LOL), and mine is the Dior Granville bag. I think a few years ago, we were at the Lotte duty free department store in Myungdong and we left he shop bowing to our supremely priced Dior & Chanel bags, saying "Sorry, we can't afford you right now!" and we just laughed and joked about it. :) Heheheh~~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I think after consulting with my teacher, I will make a Dior Granville for my third bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm starting this blog today, because my machine arrived today. I got a leather sewing machine & a leather splitter(skiver). I've had to move them from my living room into my study because my cat might chew on the chords and the thread. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway... Leather working has been this incredible, sacred journey for me. It's unlike any other experience I've had on Earth... It still blows my mind how it crept into my life... I remember the first week I got into leather working (we made a mystery bracelet and some small cases) and I came home to research some images and history of the craft. I couldn't find the right "book" on it yet. I want something like a classic text and information on this industry and craft. Will have to do more digging on this on Amazon soon. I did find a few images I liked that depicted old leather craft studios. Some engraved ones, others more like manuscript illustrations. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All I can say is, for now, how healing and engaging the leather bag designing process is. So far, every step of the way has really been a fun challenge for me. I love how physically active and assertive you can be with leather, I LOVE LOVE LOVE working with the leather cutting knife (we are being taught to use the Japanese style knife), I've really enjoyed exploring the leather market and their offerings, and I've loved all the little finishes and techniques involved in creating and completing a bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
OK. It's getting late in Seoul and I have to get some homework done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
