My new purse!
Today I was inspired to use the pieces of a purse I had started to make several months ago. I was making a lot of totes, but I wanted something that was more of a purse - with a closure. I started it and then I couldn’t figure out how to finish it. Until yesterday, that is. Joanne took a class from Kathy Cano-Murillo, the Crafty Chica. In the class, she made a collage purse and I finally knew what I needed to do to make my purse work! I added a piece in the front to highlight the fabric collage I made from vintage kimono fabrics and I added the strap. I’ll be testing out this purse tonight at Art Unraveled. It matches the tote I made for myself back in December, so that’s kind of fun, too.
I do wish I had pockets inside, so I might try to alter it some more to add a liner with a pocket or four… But still, it is a fun purse, especially, for Art Unraveled and other artistic endeavors!
Have a great day, all!

fran dear, it looks beautiful! I peaked at some of the bags being created in Kathy C-M’s class–WOW!
After you were my class monitor last monday, I told my husb you were the perfect person for that role. You went up to each person, smiled warmly and welcomed them to class, making everyone feel so welcome. Perf. I had no idea you were living with chronic pain….i’m so sorry to hear you have to go through all that.
