Tuscarora Tuesday

A Lovely Little Trio of .......

purses?

needlecases?

I'm not sure, but they are lovely all the same......

I especially like the way the artist designed the motif so when the purse is closed, the design is continued.

With the velvet worn, you can see the underlying paper used as the interfacing.

The very first beadwork class I took was a whimsy pillow and I remember being shocked that the velvet was glued to a regular old grocery bag. But it worked!

If you look very closely at the motif edges, you can see the paper pattern underneath the beads.
And speaking of trios.....here I am with my sister and mom on Mother's Day! lol

P.S. The book that is tucked under my arm I read in one day - never have I done that before! It's called Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman. The cutest story ever! Oh, and my mom and I are holding the socks she was knitting - they are done now and she has started her second pair all by herself! And she called me crazy for knitting socks......ha, now she's addicted!

Bead Happy and Often :)
