Hand Bags

	Flower Handbag I found the pattern for this bag at Savvy Seams. I made mine bright and whimsical, hoping to encourage spring to get here. Prairie winters can be long and cold.
	Lily Hand Bag The Lily Evening Bag is made of blue and shot green silk dupioni. Firepolished glass beads and Czech crystal beads adorn the petals of the lily. The pattern is available for $15.00 CDN plus shipping. e-mail me to place an order.
	Lizzard Hand Bag I made this envelope hand bag for a swap for a person who loves all things reptilian - snakes, iguanas, and lizzards. The "lizzard" skin is thread painting on cotton fabric and the green lizzard wraps around the bag and is fused appliqué with thread painting.
	Black Evening Hand Bag A very simple envelope hand bag for evenings out. The black cotton bag is embellished with a cotton batik strip overlaid with tulle. Sequins are sandwiched between the two layers andare sewn on top. Metallic silver yarn is couched around the outside edges of the decorative panel.
	Denim and Abalone Hand Bag The messenger bag is made of black cotton and crinkle denim. It is embellished with mother-of-pearl buttons and the closure is a large abalone button.
