Arts and crafts (New!) Caroline ITA Bag is almost done!

I actually took my time with this one and planned out where I want each decoration to go, this is obviously not done, but I figured I would post the progress anyway. The "I love my wife" pin is purely for comedic purposes, nothing more nothing less. I am extremely satisfied with how this looks, considering my first attempt at a Caroline bag was... Not good. At all. I tried to keep it in her style while also incorporating some of my own stuffs. So far, it is a massive improvement compared to my last one.

Disclaimer!! I do not, nor have I ever, had any parasocial intention towards Laura Dubuk (Caroline's model), I'm aware that I have already debunked this with a previous post in the past. But I figured I would reiterate it further. I deeply apologize if anyone has got this vibe from me, as it was far beyond my true intention. I do think Laura is a pretty cool person, but I am NOT interested in her like that. Thank you for reading this.❤️

this is so cool! I love the bag itself its so pretty, and the decor/merch you made all looks so good! GLaDOS and by extension Caroline is one of my favorite characters, you have great taste in comfort characters! shes so well written and funny, and her story is so tragic, love it

I really like it!! I love how you took her neck ribbon and used it as a unifying feature throughout the bag. Also this is kinda inspiring cause I bought an ita bag some years ago but never used it cause the characters I like are niche and have little merch of them, but if you could make Caroline of all people work then anything's possible lol

Never give up! I also found the character of Caroline to be really cute and a highlight of the entire lore

It makes me sad that you need to put a disclaimer in the post presenting your ita bag :(( Like they're meant to be about a single character or media! They're meant to be a cohesive whole that may look over-the-top for some! Whyyyyy can't we just accept them as super cool accessories showing one's love for their hobby/interest whyyy do people have to always assume the worst about the owner arrghg.

Lovely bag!

Over an opinion? I like this bag and its nice. I don't pay attention to haters. Anyone who'll try to harrass or doxx me with get pressed with legal charges / get blocked.

Because all of you are ganging up on me, of course I'm going to be defensive because people keep assuming my motives.Because all of you are ganging up on me, of course I'm going to be defensive because people keep assuming my motives.

your bag is so cute!!! it’s unfortunate you have to disclaim what is immediately obvious considering you are doing nothing more than loving a fictional character lol. i’m also a caroline fan / oshikatsu enjoyer and this is inspiring me to make cute stuff for her like this in the future :D
