FROGS KEEP CHANNELING THROUGH ME!!!

Being a big fan of frogs this, that, and every which way, (except to eat, blagh! And don't tell me it tastes like chicken!), I've wanted, for some time now, to create a folk artsy collage of fabric and leather and incorporate it into a shoulder bag. I finally sketched a simple pattern, cut out some scraps, and the ball got rolling and picked up momentum and now I'm on my 5th bag, two of which were snatched up quickly and went to new homes I'm thrilled to say!!! This has been such a fun ride, a romp in the bog, a great diversion from my "to do" list!!

RASTIFIED SHOULDER POUCH

I caught a glimpse of what became the smile on the face of this small shoulder bag as it lay in the scrap heap and thought how fun it would be to find other abstract bits and parts and create a character, like no other, on the front side of this piece. As the bag took shape, I envisioned dreadlocks of some sort and took a trip to the yarn shop, finding this variegated yarn with all the right shades to compliment the deep colors in the fabrics with just enough glitz. The result of this wild ride is a one of a kind, functional shoulder pouch, sure to turn heads and bring a smile and JA to many faces in any crowd.
