Description:
I designed and stitched this silk evening bag from a piece of black silk worn by my grandmother and the two black lace ruffles surrounding the base I found among my grandmother's things. The beaded dragonfly on the left front of the flap is hand beaded with tiny black beads. The over-the-shoulder strap carries the same black beads and interspersed are larger black beads in strategic places giving symmetry to the forty inch strap. The beads were part of a necklace and bracelet set that my mother wore when she was a young woman. This is a very sentimental bag and it took me on a sentimental journey designing and creating this work. A single snap closes the flap to this sweet and petite bag.
