One day cute little fluffy puppies, the next a creepy skull!

After my latest Precious Pup mini messenger bag-this one with an Ooh La La Parisienne look to it-I was ready to do something more, for lack of a better word, macabre. Well maybe Dia de los Muertos is more like it. I think he (can handbags be a "he"?) turned out pretty good.

The thing is, is that I cannot seem to make anything simple. But with the skull bag I tried. Really. I. did. I mean REALLY.

I was like "Woo hoo, I don't have to make a fabric strap (those take a long time!) I had a piece of black leather! WRONG! The leather was so soft and supple that I had to piece it together and then add tons of hand embroidered running stitches! Took me hours and a few Band Aids...but I think along with the vintage buttons it really makes the purse special.

So waddya think?
