Hello,
this screen printed Dog purse has a little malfunction.
The bottom right hand corner is bigger than the left hand side....it juts out further than the other side,
which is very annoying when these purses take so long to make.
Anyhoo, I thought I would put this up for a 'Giveaway', if the winner didn't mind a slightly irregular shaped purse. A bit of lopsidedness never hurt anyone, did it?
The last 'Giveaway' was great, but I felt awful that so many lovely commentators didn't win.
I thought I may start having regular 'Giveaways', perhaps once every few weeks.
What do you think?
The purse is made with antique, hand loomed French linen...gorgeous stuff, very hard wearing.
Screen printed, hand painted, free machine embroidered, with a smidgen of Liberty Tana Lawn.

If you fancy a chance of winning, please just leave a comment here.
I will do the Random Number Generator thingy next Tuesday 4th June, UK time.
I will post international too.

its beautiful, how cares if its lopsided! i'm not symetrical!
I'm pretty sure my bottom right corner is bigger than my left too, so we would get on well together. It is gorgeous, thanks for the chance to win. xxx
I'm thinking a lopsided purse would be perfect!

Who would mind a slight error when the rest is so beautifully made! x Jo
Hello Viv,
I would love to be in with a chance of winning this beautiful purse and can overlook any malfunctioning points it may have because its beauty overcomes all......d x
Yes, please, I like a bit of lopsidedness. You just can't get it in the shops these days.

Woohoo - it's not lopsided it's quirky! Thanks for doing a lovely giveaway x Jane
Lop sided? Who cares? not me!
I'm a little lopsided and irregular...this little purse and I would be a perfect match!
Thanks for the chance to win it!
Like most of us there is little that can be labeled perfection in life...
But the sweetness of your whimsical artwork is captured perfectly... who cares if it is a little wonky!

WOW, your darling coin purse reminds me of my 2 doggies! I have Jack Russells!I love the little details you have on your work. I would LOVE to win this. I'm not sure if gals from the USA can enter your giveaway. Thank you!

It's gorgeous! X
It's lovely, you would love it so much the lopsidedness wouldn't matter at all.
Carol xx
How lovely, the lop-sidedness only adds more character :)
I love it and if I was lucky enough to win, it would never be imperfect to me - I'd be so happy
Your little purse is so wonderful, lopsided-ness and all! I would treasure it!
I'm a bit wonky, so a wonky purse would be just fine with me :-)
I *so* need a new purse ....the one I bought from you years ago is wearing out from overuse! Love the sweet doggies.
x
I love your work... here little doggie, doggie... I'll be honest, I hope I win!
Any lopsidedness only adds to the lovely character of the piece - me thinks.
Love it! a little oddness never hurt anyone :) please count me in.
Bee happy x
It's absolutely gorgeous and practically perfect in every way!! Please enter me in your wonderful giveaway, Lucey xx
This is so lovely! I have some of your embroidered postcards and they bring such whimsy into my day!
Even a 'second' [so called] is perfection when it is from your hand work. Oh please toss my name into the hat Viv, N, x
To me, a handmade item has more charm if it's slightly wonky in some way. When things are manufactured, they're all the same and have no soul!xx
I'd very much love to be in with another chance to win a piece of creativity! Xx
All of your purses are lovely - and the asymmetric edge just adds more interest to the piece :-) I´d love to win it :-)
how adorable i love it and would treasure it ;0)x
I wouldn't have noticed unless you pointed it out Viv, lopsided is good! jx
lopsided....a bit like me then ;-)
Its beautiful! I would be proud to keep my money in it!
I love your purse, its lopsidedness adds to its quirkiness :-D xx

Very cute purse! I hope I will be the winner ^^

Your purse is perfect so please please please put my name in your hat (which is, no doubt, beautiful too!).
Thank you!

I fell in love with the purse because it reminds me of my two dogs Mabel and Lily. Mabel is tall and thin whereas Lily is short and stocky. I particularly love that there is a dog on the back as well!
I would love to have this. Your things are always so cute and wonderful!!
This caught my eye immediately! It is beautiful along with all your other work. The lopsidedness adds personality and I love the liberty fabric also. Simply beautiful. ♡ Lucy
Forgot to add my name to previous comment: Riana Martin

Fingers crossed for this ! Beautiful work, thanks for the opportunity x
I always think irregular pieces are special, it 's as if they have a personality of their own and won't be forced to conform!
Beautiful work! You don't really notice the imperfection as you are drawn to the pretty visual. Would love to win this gorgeous piece. :)
How could I could resist having a go!
It's just beautiful exactly the way it is!
The lopsidedness just gives it character. I'd be thrilled to win.
Love these purses to the moon and back! :-D xxx
What a beautiful little purse, it's so so pretty, a work of art and so beautifully made. I would love it come to me, I would cherish it! :)

Beautiful work! You don't really notice the imperfection as you are drawn to the pretty visual. Would love to win this gorgeous piece. :)
Mmm. Think my chances are slim Jim but please pop me in the mix. The wonkiness would suit me very well...
Thank you, Ax
Always hopeful! lopsided is good- it means it's handmade and special. Betty
Perfect for a butterfly ! Thank you....
How can I resist, not only your beautiful work, but a unique piece of your work. I have all my extremities crossed. Thank goodness you cant see!
I love your work - whenever you post a new one it's a bit of joy in the day! A little imbalance is more perfect that none!
I don't know what to say really...your work transports me to another time and place, when homes were lit with tallow candles and gentle ladies sewed by hand in the soft light.
I imagine one of your purses has been owned by one of these ladies. I'd covet this purse, even with its so called imperfections. It deserves to be in a frame. *sighs*
Love Lopsy, would love to see some of your creations in reality.
Please enter me in.

You're work is so beautiful that I am certain that a bit of lopside only enhances the piece!

I always feel a bit lop sided, plus it looks just like my dog! Many Thanks for the possibility x
ooh, i adore lopsidedness, you should do a range dedicated to it! xx
So what if it is lopsided it looks perfect to me. I am really envious of someone who knows how to print on fabric - I wish I could. Lovely, lovely purse.
It looks so lovely and so much detail. I would love it.
Oh how wonderful your purse is and thanks so much for the chance to win..
Sandy :)

Can't believe you are giving it away! Aren't things supposed to be wonky? Oh well back to the drawing board then...... Or maybe not. Thanks for the chance
Thank you for such a generous giveaway. I love perfect imperfection.
Love it, but 114 comments sofar, what chance do I have!!!
A true one of a kind!
Who and what is perfect?! Love the little bag!
As I am slightly lopsided myself, what more could a 'lady' want other than a lopsided purse. I would love the chance to win. Sue x susan.vaughan4@hotmail.co.uk
Lop-sided is handmade character - what makes it special and one of a kind! Would love to have it.
Who cares about being a little different--aren't we all!!!It is lovely.
how lovely that you are a giving-away kinda gal. the purse is sweet and i don't see the difference. maybe my glasses are all wonky. have a lovely day!
It's gorgeous!
I love your work. Right now I only collect it on Pinterest but I would be thrilled with the real thing. Thank you for your generosity.
I myself am slightly irregular AND I own a black dog (black Lab!)so I think this delightful purse should come to Canada to live with me! *fingers crossed*
I love your style and I would love the purse. Money is draining out of my old one (literally) perhaps a new purse would bring in some new money ! In a Feng Shui kind of way ! Do you see how fatally optimistic I can be? Now its going to be spooky if i do win your gorgeous purse !
Hello my love...I keep seeing your lovely things on pinterest and feel so proud that I own some of your beautiful creations...finally had time to blog today ...it felt great! Hope you are well...H
Very, very sweet!
As the physio told me this week I am lopsided this would suit me fine! ...and it's beautiful (as is all your work, creep creep) :) Sam.

Just came across your Facebook Page today and had to hit the like button straight away as your makes are simply gorgeous! I think when makes are quite 100% perfect that's what makes them extra beautiful and says 'I am hand-made' not perfectly mass produced.

A tad bit wonky? ... just like me! Looks like there are quite a few of us that aren't symmetrically balanced. :)
Love the quirky purse! Lop-sidedness adds to the overall delight of it.
What a beautiful purse, I've been coveting these ever since I found your blog, I don't think I've ever seen 184 comments on a blog post before. Just shows how much your work is appreciated.
Nothing in life is perfect, thank goodness. Love the way you put things together - just fab.

Ooooo yes please. I would love one of your quirky purses to take on my hols :-)
