A BAG FOR THE JESTER'S LADY

Al pozzzo dei pazzi - c'era una pazza - che lavava le pezze
passo' un pazzo - vide la pazza - la bacio' -
e la daro' un regalo - la borsa dei pazze (per Grazia)

This is what I wanted to create? A bag for the jester's wife? Not really! But it turned out that way - this new design has to get altered a bit! Only after I sew it together with the lining and turned it inside out I saw how funny it looks. I put much effort, thought and work in that bag. Hm, the happy flow of creativity was blinding my focus on the design. But I think it looks nice anyway! Notice all those delicious details: flowers, vintage buttons, old lace, sweet butterflies, frank and frivolous ladies (there is an additional one, flirting on one of the inside pockets)!

This is the back, the pocket closes with Velcro.


I braided many different kinds of yarn, to make the strap and the tassels. One is fuzzy and gives another funny element. Zoom in, there are many lovely details.
Now, did I make you smile? Or laugh even? That's good!
