Woven Top Evening Bag

Dark Brown, Medium Brown, Dark Cranberry and Dark Matte Gold 11° seed beads make up the body of this bag. I then used Garnet Transparent with Gold Luster seed beads for the basket weave cuff at the top of the bag, embellishing it with Topaz Transparent Daggers. The side fringing uses the Garnet seed beads, crystal 14mm beads and glass drops (both vintage German) and Dark Topaz bugle beads. The shoulder strap also using the Garnet seed beads, is strung on steel cable (Soft Flex) and is accented at the top with the same German crystal beads. As all my bags are, this one is leather lined.
