Finished The Drawstring Pouch

[anne_d]

It's an amulet pouch. I didn't have a coherent plan or theme, just things I like and that have meaning and/or feel like protection symbols.

Materials: 4-ply Irish waxed linen threads (teal and forest green), embellishments including a vintage metal button with a dragonfly on it, small quartz crystal stars, a fluorite star, a snowflake obsidian crescent moon, a malachite bear fetish bead, a turquoise scarab bead, a bead made from an operculum*, a bead cap shaped like a mermaid, sitting on a bronze-colored pearl, a Hamsa with eye bead in the center, an Athena Owl coin charm, a Maneki Neko (lucky cat), an infinity symbol, assorted other beads and charms. I chose a Harpy Girl from Green Girl Studios to live inside the pouch; the eye charm is also one of hers and has SEEK on the back.

Here's the pouch completed but not yet embellished.


Here it is with all the shiny bits on.



*A snail's door. I like it because it's marked with a spiral.

Now if I can only figure out why I get so damnblasted depressed when I successfully finish a project, that'd be just lovely.
