Some Promised Photos

Here is a photo of the first of what I hope will be many handbags.  I gave this one to my good friend Emmy for her birthday.  The foundation material is a Qantas inflight blanket which I got at an Op Shop for $3.  The lining is fabric my Mum brought me home from Singapore and the beads are handblown glass which I picked up in Florence and the Bicycle on Smith St, Collingwood for $1 each.  The applique material is all scraps that I have left over from a quilting phase which I went through about 20 years ago!
