peter max pouch

I "inherited" the 1970's Peter Max bedspread from my sister, so I made her this little zippered pouch as a consolation prize. There's plenty of bedspread left for more items! The pouch was fun to try - I lined it and sewed the zipper in between the lining and outside - an interesting spatial relations problem. And, I linked those hippie jingly bells onto the zipper (it was a recycled zipper from my kid's old backpack). The whole thing is about 6" x 8". I'd like to try making some more lined pouches like this.

cuff bracelet

I made this on the loom, I really like it but continue to be ambivalent about the method of knotting/weaving in ends to connect the two ends of the bracelet. It's hard to weave in the thick elastic strands properly. But I love the color & shape & feel of the thing. I used cube beads for the band and then sewed the round beads on as "fringe" along the edges.
