I'm not sure why but all of yesterday's bags are blue. Maybe it's all the much-needed rain we got this weekend.

Mehitabel
This striking navy blue hand-painted cat clutch features original cat art by Las Vegas Artist Gina Quarantro. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=74454659.

If that wasn't enough to make it remarkable, the main fabric is one of a kind hand painted fabric by Mollie of Monkeyshine Design http://www.monkeyshinedesign.etsy.com. The blue is actually a swab cloth that Mollie uses to mop up extra paint as she makes her unique FQ's. Accidental art at it's best. The bag is lined in the same blue as the detachable handle. Magnetic snap under the flap. No inside pockets.

Measures 9.5" wide x 5.5" high 2.25" across the bottom.

There is a small construction hiccup in the bag, which is why it is priced a little lower, but it doesn't effect the useability of the bag. It may fray a bit right at the edge of flap where it meets the main body of the bag.


Mehitabel is the name of a character in a book by Sarah Monette. It is also the name of a cat in several other stories. http://www.librarything.com/character/Felix%20Harrowgate

Taisie
This unique wild eyed extra pocket blue and orange hip pouch is made from two pieces of my friend Mollie's hand painted fabrics. The outside pocket is a wild handpainted eyeball and the main body of the bag is one of Mollie's swab cloths. The bag has a covered cord handle that will fray along the length with washing. It is worn across the body and is great for those who do not carry lots of stuff. Lined in a peachy hatch print. Zipper top.

Measures 7.5" across, 9" high. Outside pocket has raw edge top and measures just over 5" wide x 6.5" high.
