Description

The listing, GORGEOUS Combo: Handcrafted Purse with Brooch/Choker - Purples, Aquas, Greens has ended.

This is a 3-in-one listing for my design of a deep purple, aqua, and olive green variegated purse with a removable black zipper & waterproof purse inside.

Starting with the purse, the yarn has been crocheted in a textured basket weave stitch using one strand of the yarn along with one strand of variegated "sparkle" 100% Turkish I get from a friend who lives in Istanbul. I can't find her thread in the States so when I order, I get a lot and a many colors!

The purse has been felted: in other words, it has been washed and dried which blends the fibers and locks them into place.

It's dimensions are 11 1/2" x 6" and holds an ebook reader, or small tablet, no problem.

Moving right along, we have the brooch. I took my color cues from the purse and incorporated Swavorski crystals and some 'illuminating' effects for maximum shine and sparkle. It has Aurora Borealis (multiple flashes of color) Swavorski crystals: 3 solitaire round, 3 smaller yet deeper solitaires and 1 marquis cut.

No matter which way you turn in the light, the brooch simply sparkles like you wouldn't believe!

Included is a black satin cord that has a Chinese slip knot so you can adjust it to fit.

Quoted retail gallery price:$145.

I believe in 'shared' shipping with the winner paying less than half. I accept Paypal and hidden cash.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Great workmanship!! Is it possible to put in an order for a specific size purse? This would be just perfect for what I'm looking for except that it's a little too big. I'm looking for one for my home health care worker. She needs a new one and I thought i would surprise her and get her a new one. I fanned you and will be watching. Please let me know through the email about this. Thanks so very much!!

Hi! I just completed two more and one may be perfect for what you're looking for. It's more 'square' and a bit smaller. It also includes the pin/brooch/choker combo. I'll let you know when it's up. :-)
