Gail has given us a lovely image for the April challenge. It just spoke to me, so I made this little purse using silk dupioni, some wonderful lace and trims, silk ribbons and lots of beading. I made some silk yo yo's with pearl centers and added a 3 inch swinging trim. Ah yes and a little jeweled bee. Lined it with silk and added a silk like cording. I love the faded look of this image. It is ready for a tea party don't you think. Drop on over to Mind Wide Open and see all the creative entries. I would sure love your vote.

Beautiful combinations..the fringe really finishes the purse.
