Cynt...Hello Therese :-) Better late than never. <br /><br />Cynthia's bag is wonderful. The dragon is perfect I think I'd feel a little intimidated with such a beautiful beast, but she knew exactly what to do. I love the colors and organic shape of the beaded flap. It's almost like a wing ready to soar. She brought is all together with the beaded edging too. What a beauty. She really did a really great job!!!<br /><br />Your bag is extremely lovely. Of course the cabs are wonderful, you are a master cab bezzler, after all. What really brings the bag together for me is the diagonal beading with pearls at the intersections. That was a touch of brilliance. Your niece is going to be so happy with this bag, I bet it will hardly ever leave her side!!!

I think the canvas was a great choice with those stones and helps keep it somewhat casual for your niece too. Your beadwork and stonework really amaze me. You are an artist to be admired. . .and I do admire you!

And the treatment on the lower part of the bag looks like you quilted it, which is a really nice touch. I'm so impressed that you actually constructed the bag from scratch.

I am sure your friend will want to create her own blog now that she has experienced the fun. Your niece will be so happy and what an awesome present, full of love.
