It has taken me a long time to get this together but here is my green bag for the March Challenge on Wet Canvas. Still to be embellished, I have worked out that couching silk ribbons will be the way to go, and I will leave a little fringe at the bottom of the bag and cut the ribbons on the bias so they will not fray.

I have been waiting for it to cool down before I finished this little gift bag. Free machine embroidered, quilted, beaded, wrapped cord. The bag is silk and is lined with kimono silk.

This is the second block of the four that are passing through my hands. I added the beaded couronnes in pale pink at the bottom of the block. am going to find some of my little silver butterflies and add to this piece of work too.

I received the next round of this round robin the other day. Lots of lovely work on it already. I thought the navy patterned fabric at the bottom of the block was rather overpowering, so decided to cover it with an ouster bed, I found some freshwater pearls to add to it to give it an air of authenticity and used mother of pearl buttons for the oyster shells. Silk ribbon embroidery, embroidery, beading.
