Pinwheel Beaded Bag: This beaded bag features short row construction to create the circular back and front, both of which are heavily beaded. Beads used are both size 8 and size 9.
The front of the bag features a pinwheel pattern in the beading and the center is finished with Swaravski crystals, in various shapes. The handle is beaded I-cord and the bag has a knit lining with interfacing. Both bag and lining are knit from Handmaiden hand-dyed silk. Pattern is under construction.
Feather and Fan Beaded Reticule: This bag recently (Sept 2010) took a first in a Fibre Arts Showcase here on the Island. The bead are size 8 Charlottes and the bag is constructed from Handmaiden hand-dyed Silk for the braided handle and bag shell. The lining is hand knit form Jaggerspun Zephyr. Pattern is under construction.
Victorian Beaded Mesh Bag: This bag is knit from Handmaiden CamelSpin yarn. And uses approx 5000 size 8 charlottes. The handle is beaded and double knit so that both sides are finished. Pattern is available through my site on Ravelry.
