It's been months since I've had time to create anything for sale, but I finally finished a new bag this week! Borneo is a fold over flap bag with some heavy beading and embellishment. It doesn't have a velcro or a snap ... just the weight of the bag makes it flop over ... so you could put taller stuff in it. I went just a little nuts (I think from pent up creative juices) so this bag features 3 other artisans. Karen from Ruby Mountain Dyeworks contributed that smashing lime green hand dyed base fabric, Beadfreaky made the ceramic turtle button and Midnight Coiler made the other small ceramic charm located on the front panel. It also uses this neat flat yarn with multi-color squares I picked up on clearance. The edges of the bag opening are raw edge patchwork and are designed to fray with use. I've had that teal flower print on the inside for quite a few years so I am glad it told me it wanted to live in this bag instead of on my shelf. The whole look kinda speaks to me of beachy sailboat cruises where you really do get away from it all, so I gave it an exotic locale for a name. It's over here in my Artfire shop if you want to see more pics.
