Cat of Many Colors Bag

A Connie Welch original design in peyote stitch.

Thirteen cats on this bag - this bag is a color study of primary and secondary colors. The artistr was inspired by a child's puzzle. It is done with the serendipity spirit of living with a cat. Connie likes to call this an AOL Friendship bag, because she appealed to the Bead Board to help find attachments of things that cats likes and was immediately showered with mice. There are seven AOL beadres represented on the bag with their generous donations.




Butterfly Amulet Bag

Another Connie Welch original design. In this Butterfly Amulet the fringe and strap are integrated into the entire bag design.
