Girly bag with pink liberty

This is the next bag I'm working on.
It's not finished yet as I need to design the leather handle.

This is the Mocha with strawberry sitting on a jelly macaroon!
If there is such thing, I like to taste it! ; )

Mocha has a pink ribbon with a swarovsky on the back.

new patch bag with a leather handle

Sorry I forgot to update this bag to this blog.
I've finished the bag 2 days ago.

This is the back side of the bag.
I actually love this back side patchwork!

This hand stitching took ages!
It's about 5 star trek stories worth of work here. : )
I just love this handle!
Quite exhausted, but it was worth it!

Side pocket with a bit of Meisen on the edge.

A cute candy pocket with Meisen silk.

This white base fabric is Meisen too!

2 simple pockets inside the zipped up compartment.

working on my new patch bag

It's almost done, but it still needs a final touch.

This is the natural colour leather handle which I'll be hand sewing it today.
The leather came in a near white colour, and it didn't match well with the patchwork.
I know it will change into a nice tan colour in time, but I couldn't wait..
so, I've coated the leather using an olive oil!

I know, unbelievable, but it works!
It now has a beautiful tan with "used" look.
I love it!

The top one had it's edge shined.
Just to compare the difference between polished and unpolished edge.

This is my leather hand sewing kit!
I'll carry it to my couch and work on the bag while watching my favourite DVD, Star Trek!

cute & sweet charms

This is my original charm made by resin clay and resin.
It's my toy poodle Mocha with juicy strawberry! ; )

I've coated the strawberry with resin to make it look really juicy!
Oh, and she's sitting on this delicious looking macaroon with rhinestones.

She looks cute from the back side too!
This macaroon is made with resin.

And, she's this small!

This is the second charm I made, again of my gorgeous Mocha!
I just can't make it all with same face, and that's what makes it so interesting.
This one's got her face on top of the strawberry, as if she's too tired to lift her face.

Her strawberry and jelly beans look so delicious!
I haven't had jelly beans for ages!

These beans are individually coated with resin.

And, she's tiny!


This one is my last charm!
I've hand stitched the Liberty, stack it onto cardboard,
coated it with mat coating, and stack beans, oreo, and Mocha onto it.
What was I thinking? using the Liberty?!
Well, I think it came out alright in the end.


Juicy looking beans!

Oh, and it has a pink oreo with lots of cream and rhinestones!

This is the back side of the charm.
It can be used as a brooch too!

It's the largest piece I made with resin clay.


And this is the latest bag I've made.
I won't go into detail with it as I've already described it in detail in other posts.

Tulip bag with Meisen

This gorgeous red fabric is a silk antique kimono fabric which I carefully unthread.
I matched it with the also gorgeous purple shade Morrison fabric.

This is the back side, and I have stitched this tulip shaped pocket.
It is handy to keep your travel card here.

The leather handle I used this time is of natural colour.
I think it matches well with the bag.
I've used the Australian belt leather strip.

A zipper pocket at the front.

Side pocket for your water bottle, ipod, mobile, etc.

Hand sewn leather hook parts which will allow you to use this bag as a back sack.

A zipper compartment in the middle.

4 gathered pockets inside the compartment.
