Black and Blue Bags Col. 1

First of Three Black & Blue Bags or (B&B Bags) Collection


My Christmas gift for my mom (she likes bags).

The bags had different trimmings on them. While the big, blue heart accent for the bigger bag was store bought, the silver flowers accent on the other bag was my own design and creation.

For support and maintenance of the (bigger) bag's shape, I wove in nylon threads on every color change (and in the handle), inserted a clear, hard acetate at the bag's bottom and attached a black lining.


<sub>Gen. Info:
A collection six months in the making (w/c explains the indicated years). @__@ But the actual time spent on the whole thing would only take less than two months, planning included. TT__TT The reason it took me six months to finish them is my inability to manage my time effectively (not to mention all the holiday stress and emergencies that pop up every now and then =__= ) Waah! But I'm happy they're finished.

All items revolved around the black and blue color scheme (I got addicted to the colors) and broomstick lace (I was particularly 'hooked' with this pattern). I wanted to see how many different styles I can come up w/ using the above mentioned elements.</sub>
