Funky Purses

Sometimes I get the urge to make purses and bags.  I love combining beaded medallions with Navajo
buttons and animal print fabric with velvet.
Leather straps with silver conchos and fringe will always be my favorite theme and style for a bag.
I make them extra long so they go across the shoulder and rest on the hip.
I call this purse the "Barbara".

I love animal prints, especially leopard.   Antique chairs are especially
fine for a leopard makeover!
A camel bag from Uzbekistan completes the look.
I collect antique ethnic textiles and anything with tassels!

Super cute vintage sea shell tea set and Delores Hope roses.  They are my favorite rose, with great coral and
red hues and featuring big cabbage  blooms.

Lilac Bush

Mosaic Monday
I found this charming painting at Vanessa Rothe's studio.  The artist's work was featured in the show
Realism Without Borders, a traveling exhibit of paintings by Russian, American, Ukrainian, French and German
artists.
