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.

SHOULDER SATCHEL Serena Peace of my Heart


She's centered, balanced, hip, a celestial sister, Serena, a Goddess in her own right, shining her peace lantern down from the Heavens. I created the bulk of this shoulder satchel using a straw-colored, textured, upholstery-weight chenille. The collaged front pocket and flap is a compilation of tapestry and brocade embellished with a ceramic heart, bone peace sign, and metal star bead. Sand and olive colored leathers contrast, accent, and add durability in all the right places. Whether dangling from your shoulder or cross-wise on the body, may PEACE BE WITH YOU!
