Heirloom Evening Bag

The design for this bag was conceived when I acquired two wonderful pair of vintage crystal earrings in shades of bluish purple. I loomed the body of the bag with Aqua Clear Lined Violet, and Blue Transparent with Fuchsia Luster seed beads. I used three of the earrings on the flap and took apart the fourth for embellishment and for the handle, adding vintage Swarovski and vintage German crystal beads in shades of blue and purple, vintage German glass pendant drops and Swarovski Fuchsia crystal beads. I completed the bag adding lots and lots of fringes made of seed beads and 4mm crystal beads. The bag is leather lined.
