The Birds and the Bees


My next little venture was originally a simple canvas tote, but I got a little carried away in the design process!
I've always loved lots of detailed surface design with applique and embellishment so i wanted to include a lot of that. I embroidered around the leaves on the background and layered transfers, netting, and lots of beading and diamantes. The transfers were a completely new technique but something I'd definitely use again in the future.
The inside is lined with a polka dot fabric with multiple compartments for all your bits and bobs and all was lovingly handmade from scratch, even down to the buttons! ♥
