Airy Wire Purse

Like the item in the last post, this is also one of the purchased wire purses that I decorated. On this one, the wire can actually be seen (it's the white areas).

The shape of the wire can also be seen clearly on this purse. I used yarn that was fuzzy with little "tufts" every so often, for an airy,"barely there" look.

By the way, this picture isn't that great - I couldn't use a camera, so I scanned it, but I had to put fabric behind it so the light wouldn't come through and "laser" my eyeballs, ha!

Hippie Fringe Purse

Many, many blog posts ago, I put in a picture of a wire purse I decorated. Now, here's another one.

The base is a wire "decorative" purse, not meant for use as a handbag. Pieces of fuzzy and ribbon-like yarns were looped through the wires. The flat, ribbony yarn was also wrapped and glued around the handles. Lastly, the insides were lined with tan felt - I don't know why, since it wasn't meant to be carried around with junk in it! ;)
