These are hand made with Lapis Lazuli and glass beads on sterling silver wire.
This is an opera bag. I have been making these for a long time. It is a small drawstring pouch that was originally used by ladies that frequented the opera hence it’s name. It is also called a gypsy bag because this style of bag was also use by gypsy ladies. It is about the size of a standard-sized soft ball and is very convenient to carry and easy to conceal. I have an art night every Thursday at my house where a few of my friends and I get together and just do art. During one of these art night sessions one of my friends saw the bags that I had been making and suggested that I start selling them. So that is when my daughter opened my new Etsy shop. If you like this and would like to purchase it you can visit my Etsy shop here http://www.etsy.com/shop/AleemasCrafting and see what’s in store, or just follow the link to it at the end of this page. I only have 4 items up there right now but hopefully my daughter will be adding more as soon as she can.
