See the little outline of gold on the flowers? So pretty and rich!

Look how the silk turns a cool blue/purple when it's tilted way on its side! I LUV this silk!

Treasure Trove

That's what I think when I look at the collection of fabrics that make up this one-of-a-kind purse. The body of the bag is made with a fantastic color of dupioni silk- sort of an antique gold. What makes it so hot is that it has a crossweave of brilliant blue that gives a deep sheen in the sunlight. I love how this silk compliments the flat, geometric parts of the bag. The front is made with a rectangle of vintage kimono silk. It has a pretty design of flowers slightly tinted with gold. The repeating rectangle is red dupioni silk, and the strip of lead gray is also silk. On the back (and a little on the front, down in the corner), I did some top stitching to bring out the shimmer of the silk. I also added a couple of squares of gray and red silk to tie all the colors and shapes together. The straps are made with the gold silk, but at the top, I added red silk and top stitched them with gold thread. I like little design elements that keep you interested for awhile! The lining is red satin, the stiff bottom has metal purse feet, and the top is snapped together with a silk and satin tab.
