Well, I am finally taking the plunge with this holiday giveaway.
The signed handbag is a funky little accessory, 6" x 8 1/2" (excluding the handle).
Both fabrics on the outer shell are rust-dyed cotton. The darker fabric has been further treated with tannin and the lighter fabric has surface design applied with Paintsticks. The lining fabric and tassels have also been rust-dyed. Black piping outlines the bag and emphasizes the piecing.
Free-motion stitching is worked on the shell, front and back, in copper metallic and black rayon threads.
This sassy little bag is perfect for party or everyday.
Please leave a comment for me on today’s post and the winner will be chosen on Friday December 19th. I’ll be glad to pay postage within the states. :-)
Also, I just opened a shop on the 1,000 Markets website. Please visit my new shop at:
