I thought it would be nice to show off other purses that have popped up on the World Wide Web recently. Rittenhouse has just written a little article about all the purse canvases they have in stock. There's a huge variety in size, shape and price for the interested stitcher.

Finally, the Pischke Pocket totes are coming out with new colors and designs all the time.

Red Geisha's Hair
Melissa Shirley's Red Geisha |
This is a very easy technique, although it takes time and a lot of thread. The effect is slightly stylized, which is appropriate for a geisha portrait such as this one. It has the added bonus of being hard to snag, which is important as this will be on the front of a purse.
