Starflower Purse

In my June 23rd post this year, I suggested that crocheters find creative ways to design with motifs. Here is my second item made with that idea in mind. This purse is worked in Cotton Classic mercerized yarn. Small, simple flower motifs made from perle cotton were attached to the dark teal circles and then I crocheted the circles to the dark blue body of the purse with metallic embroidery floss. I love that the metallic embroidery floss sparkles under lights. I put the button closure at the back so as not to interfere with the design on the front. This purse is presently for sale on Etsy.
