This is the other bag I have been working on. My DD also reads tarot cards and has several decks she uses. She makes her own bags, but usually gives them away. All her tarot bags, I have made for her. This is for a new deck that is much larger than the decks she has. I started out to just decorate this with the beaded face. Then I wanted to take a shortcut so got the bright idea of glueing it on instead of sewing it to the bag. WRONG The glue didn't ooze out around the face, the fabric wicked it up and made a terrible mess. Then, the darn thing didn't stick anyway. The hand and beading around it came as a result of trying to cover up the mess and not make a new bag. All in all, I guess that was a happy accident as I like it better. Who knows if she will or not. She lives in Missouri as her husband is in the service. Next week I am going out to spend a week and a half with her. We have much crafting planned and I can't wait.



Here is one thing I have been working on since my last post. This is a bag for my DD who needed something to keep her "slices of rock" in. This is made from 2 halloween kitchen towels. They are like a cotton duck fabric, not terry cloth. I used one towel for the front, one for the back, the leftovers for inside pockets and the handle.
