This purse has got a ways to go before it’s finished. But I’m liking the dog so much, I had to show him too. The B&W check is going to be the lining. Kinda wild, huh? So far, I’ll working on this one while I wait for paint to dry on the fish purse. I can’t just sit still. Drives me crazy. I’m making these up as I go along. Yes, I had a pattern, but I can not stick to those things. Gotta do it my way. Which drives some folks crazy. A friend… former acquaintance use to say.. “PJ you always have to do it your way”. Well, I’d hope so, it’s my life, my art. Why would I want her to screw it up? LOL… Makes me giggle just thinking about it….

This one has beads, lots of metallic threads, buttons. I’m really liking this one. Got a crazy idea for the edge. Hope it does what I want it to do. It won’t break my heart if it doesn’t. That’ll just head me in a different direction. The shiny threads and beads didn’t show up well in this photo. But they sparkle in the light. Very fun. I still haven’t started the shoulder strap. Hope to get that done tomorrow.
I think I’m going to put the same b&w check lining in this one also. Love that fabric… it’ll pop when you open the purse. Yes, I am having fun. The flu/plague interrupted for a few days, but I got lots of beading/painting done today.
Hope I have lots to show you tomorrow. Have a great Sunday. Feed the birds, it makes them happy. xo PJ

These are so much fun. Love that lining!
Thanks, Nelda. These are going to be fun and artsy! They’ll see me coming for a mile.
