The bag


This is going to be a messenger bag when I get done with it. The picture shows the front flap.

My first major project is going to be mostly applique work (at least that's what I call this) so I wanted to see how it worked on a larger scale. The base is a russian 100% wool army blanket i purchased.

The central design is supposed to be a dorje, a buddhist thunderbolt. I did it from memory, freehand, if that explains why.
