I had a "left over" beaded flower (one, I made myself - the ones on the laurel cloak were made by Elslin and Eleanore), so I decided to do a purse with a circle opening.
The star has the beaded flower in the center, with glass beads and golden sequins, and is embroidered with couched gold thread and applique (purple silk velvet).
Materials used for the purse:
Embroidery: Silk velvet, gold thread, gold sequins, silk thread
Wool fabric, silk fabric (lining)

what a lovely, lovely idea :D
thanks for sharing the photos :)
This is a great pouch. I love the star pattern. I think I might have a go at this using goldwork.
Cheers,
Jane
