Celtic Circle (fashion bag)

A gorgeous black designer silk Dupiono fabric was used in machine sewing this evening/afternoon bag. I machine stitched a lovey, rich burgundy fabric applique & then machine stitched it to the front flap of the bag. I handbeaded/stitched the celtic Circles with seed beads in rich tones of burgundy, bronze & silver with one longer bead inside the top and bottom of the larger circle. A Celtic Knot button is handstitched to the fabric and the flap comes almost completely over the top of the bag and catches with a piece of the cord used for the over-the-shoulder strap in black which can be knotted to be worn at any length. The strap measures
32 inches (81 cm) & the bag measures 6" wide by 7 " hi. The designer silk has an iridescent sheen. Celtic Art has many geometric patterns as ornamentation & in modern times Celtic Art is popularly thought of in terms of national identity and therefore, specifically Irish, Scottish & Welsh. Enjoy.
