Giveaway



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. 
Back





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.
Thanks so much for stopping by. x

  11. 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!

  78. 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*
