Sorry I am so late this week, my mom fell again and it kinda distracted me : / anyway... the theme this week at Mixed Media Monday is "Cool it down" . I am not much on blue so this teal is about as cool blue as I get... I do think this is really kewl though :)) and in real life the teal looks much lighter.
I am also entering this int Alter It Monthly for the September "Rust" theme.
I thought that I could use in in my bathroom. I have an old smashed shaving case that I am working on for in there too. The chain on the purse hangs from the back side of the purse so I intend to hang it on the wall open. Then I can use it to hold things I use everyday like my brush, comb and hair clips.
I rusted the frame and chain then used an image from my new "nicely nudes" collage sheet and printed it on fabric. She is nude in a garden so she must be cool :)) I covered it with cracked mica and used an old belt buckle for the frame. Then some antique lace and vintage brass and rusted metal findings finished it off.
Photo Update 9-25:
I have said this before... I just kept looking at it and feeling it was not quite done. I am honorable at taking things apart and redoing them.

Such a lovely little purse! Love the way you altered this! It is kewl! Hope your Mom is doing ok! That has to be scary for you!!
Fantastic project, as usual, Inka. Can't wait to view it in person because your art projects are so inticate and one misses the details via a photo.
Good luck with your mom.
I am so enthralled by this beautiful purse...it will look awesome hanging anywhere in your home. Love you have the idea about the brush and comb...you will have to scour your antique shops as you love to do to see if you can come up with a vintage set...Love it, Inka. You are so talented. Hugs, Gayle
