Not-Quite-Custom Order #10: Smurfs Purse

For one reason or another, I never seem to take pictures of the items that I make for myself. But apparently I had my thinkin' cap on back in August when I concocted this fun little purse. It's a prototype for a new, smaller, purse design that I hope to have in my shop soon. I carried it a LOT over the summer and got a lot of compliments on it, which is always nice.

Custom Order #7: Smurfs!

This custom order request is one of my favorites because, well, SMURFS! When I was contacted about making this custom order, I did a little research and found that there had been a comic book series of the Smurfs from back in the early 80s. This particular issue dates back to 1982, which is even older than I am. I was also asked to include a change pocket (it snaps shut!) and because she told me that she had a Papa Smurf tattoo, I tried to make it all about the head smurf. Love how this turned out!
