Inspiration galore!!!

Thanks to all of you who left such lovely comments about my February block.
SO
It started Monday morning this week when I was researching bead embroidery options and in particular any videos that may be on the internet. 
I came across this video
I followed this by visiting Bea Valdes' website where I hit the motherload of inspiration.
 Ms. Valdes has a company in Manilla that makes the most exquisite evening purses.
All are hand stitched!
I love the shape of the one above and colour scheme.
Beautiful patterns.
Gorgeous colours, patterns, design!

Interesting shape
So, do they inspire you too?
I'd love to make something like one of these
so guess I'll have to learn bead embroidery now!
Something special coming Monday so make sure you come and visit....

  3. Lovely hand bags. In my book "FlatWork" I show how to make bead hand bags. It is easier than you may think.
