My post got lost in moderation so I'll try again without so many pictures.

This is a beaded evening bag, it measures 4 1/2 inches by 5 inches. The framework is based on the right angle weave amulet bag in Creative Beading. The embellishment is based on a necklace I made designed by Lisa Kan and some touches of my own.

It is embellished with about 608 4 mm Swarovski bicones and 312 3 mm freshwater pearls.

Gasp!  How much do you want for it?  It would go so well with lots of stuff in my wardrobe!(That's a mega-compliment, btw.)

Peg, it's lovely!  This is one I wish I could see in person, as I bet it's fabulous.

What an absolutely beautiful heirloom to be passed down in your family for years and years (if you have no intentions of selling it, and if it were mine, I would not!). It is my goal to make a beautiful beadwoven or loomed purse someday. Just Lovely!!!

Can you post a bigger picture ?  It looks great but a little hard to see detail.

Stunning!! Wow, I'm just amazed by the pics and I bet it looks SO much better in person! I'm a purse lover and I have to say that I like this better than I like my Coach purse. Absolutely gorgeous
