Under the Sea


Pouch #7 - Here's a colorful octopus just hangin' around in the seaweed with his little fishy friend. The image is embellished with seed beads, black buttons for the eyes and some puff paint outlines to create a little depth. The pouch is made from snippets of leftover fabric and a recycled zipper.  The strap is braided strips of t-shirt fabric.

We're almost to the end of this first batch of pouches and I've got a bunch of new ideas for the next set.  In the meantime, the fitting has been done for the wedding dress and the fabric has been cut out.  More to come on that very soon.  For now I'll leave you with a little rhyme...

There was some used clothing and fabric
That might have been trash in a basket,
But I cut and I sewed, designed and embellished,
And voila! it's a new pouch fantastic!

Poetically yours,
Pamela
