Guess what came back from the finisher yesterday?
Yes, the lantern-shaped purse is finished and ready for the 2008 ANG Seminar Auction at Indian Wells, CA this fall. Isn't it lovely? You can't see how Summer Truswell finished the really well in these photos, sadly. She somehow found silk dupoini fabrics that matched the outer blue or pink borders very well and covered the back of each canvas with it, then attached each "pocket" to opposite outer sides of the purse. It's probably best if these aren't used as pockets for anything heavy or thick, but one could easily slip an airline ticket there.
Once again, the two canvases are from Melissa Shirley (the 1161 series, all of which are 5x5 inches) and the finishing was donated to ANG by Summer Truswell. The purse itself came from a company called Lantern Moon. Here are links:
If you go to the Indian Wells Seminar and make it to the auction, please take photos of the winner with his or her Asian purse, ok?
And Summer, THANKS!
