Here is my second african handbag. I put seed beads as well as some larger beads on this ladies dress this time. Hand embroidery around the dress and top. And the colonial knots in her hair. Three pockets on the inside, one with a zipper the others without.

Hello, this is not a machine embroidery design. The actual lady is a piece of fabric. The centre panel on the bags inside the trim is a section from a piece of fabric that I purchased on ebay. And I just decorate the picture with different size beads and hand embroidery. I thought that fabric was unique when I seen it. And thanks for your compliment

You should have a go at them, they might seem involved at the start, but, really they are really good to make, and thanks for the compliment
