Under The Sea by Christine Jones
My freeform handbags are composed of small knit & crochet “scrumbles” which are individually joined. I then start work on the embellishments. This can mean knit/crochet flowers, corkscrews and edgings, & often the addition of beads, buttons or other baubles. Finally the bag is ready for the lining to be hand stitched into place & the handles to be attached. Each bag is individual in design & the end result of many hours work.
Original bag “Seaweed” has been sold. Similar handbags are available in my etsy shop

I think this and your other textile textured ones would suit this group called Visual Texture
would look beautiful over there…
I’ve got Molten Stitch over there. I’m a bit confused by their rules but I’ll submit it & see what happens.

yes, i just read it thru and a bit confusing, but i think they are covering all sorts of texture there, i hope that’s what they mean …. give it a go anyway Chris.. i just saw that you had Molten Stitch over there too….
Beautiful creation, love the wide variety of textures and colours. Very nice work
thanks so much Shelley

Hi Chris!! Sorry me took so long to drop by! n_n"
love this piece.. have you finish stitching already into a bag already? how long did it take to come up with this? it looks so complicated.. =D
I appreciate you stopping by & taking the time to comment. :))
This was a bag I did a while ago & it is now sold. If I work solidly on the one bag it can take a couple of weeks.The problem is knowing when to stop, lol!
