Since you're asking...It's beautiful Freda! Since you're asking for opinions - I would do away with the flap that will end up covering your beautiful beading. Perhaps you could do just a small bit of beading in one corner on the back and leave the rest plain? The fabric you've used is lovely.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156446618762973579.post-46417210887547823802010-09-10T19:18:09.336-07:002010-09-10T19:18:09.336-07:00This is so beautiful Freda - you're such a whi...This is so beautiful Freda - you're such a whizz!!<br />Personally I wouldn't have a flap either if it ends up covering your bead work.<br />On the back you could bead your initials - think that you will be handing this down for generations to enjoy and your initials would be a reminder of who made it (maybe a date or just the year).<br />But I'm so new to all this - howver often fresh eyes look at things in a different light!!<br />I'm very glad you're Harv is on the mend, he's a trooper and give him a big hug from me!!<br />Take care dear Freda and don't forget to stay in touch once you're in Florida!<br />Hugs from New Zealand<br />ShaneShane Pollardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06674612132049839026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156446618762973579.post-82947146394500075142010-09-10T17:08:30.754-07:002010-09-10T17:08:30.754-07:00Sounds like if you checked yourself in, you could ...Sounds like if you checked yourself in, you could finish that purse...no cleaning, no cooking...glad Harv has benefited from the TLC.<br /><br />As for your purse...I like the idea of skipping the flap and making the top of the purse straight across with a snap. You could also do some type of a roping -- cover some cording with a hand-dyed Hanah silk ribbon that would complement the beads...<br /><br />And, I'm thinkin'...since you don't have to do the flap, wouldn't it be beautiful to bead the back too? OK. Maybe you don't have all that in you...but you did ask...<br />hugs, SusanSusan Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094024834053351944noreply@blogger.com
