This bag is apprortiately named
Double Vision because it is a two in one. Yes, this bag is a reversible Hobo! I know, it's
totally cool. The symbols on this bag are the
Lizard and the
Daisy (reverse). The Lizard symbolizes the transforming power of the Gospel, which is able to give spiritual sight. This reference is based on the alleged ability of an old lizard to regain its sight by slipping into a crack in a wall that faces eastward and looking into the rising sun (think of us looking to the Son for light). The Daisy is a symbolic refernce to the innocence of the Christ child.

Although this bag is an original, you can expect to see more of this style. Here I have married leather, faux leather, denim with gold overlay, taffeta, and twill to create a stunning handbag. The lizards eyes are old buttons I discovered in a box of "treaures". Just under the "cascade" is a zipper which opens to a very large pocket, perfect for items needed on the fly!
The back side reveals two leather pockets. Clean and crisp. Now, to change the bag over, you need to detatch the strap at the clips, and completely unzip the zipper on side A (it is a reversable seperating zipper). Then turn it inside out. Straighten out the tabs on side B & tuck in the tabs on side A (the tabs are where the strap attaches to the grommet holes). Then zip up the zipper just as you would do a coat, attach the strap, and "voila" you have a new bag!
Side B of Double Vision presents a very large pocket on the front. Open on both sides, the pocket begins and ends where the "cascade" falls. This collection of fabrics are compsed of twill, canvas, broadcloth, and vinyl (yes, that is correct, vinyl!) I am not afraid to embrace the unusual and cling to the unexpected!!
As you can see here, the pocket is quite large and can hold my issue of Country Living quite easily, as well as my keys, and my ipod, and my palm pilot, and my wallet, and my business cards, and my lipstick, oh, and can't forget my lipgloss! Ladies, the list just goes on and on! Well, you really wouldn't want to put all of that in there, but......there is space for it!
Here are the Daisies. Three to the bunch, the daisies are made of vinyl and a little "bling bling" in the center. " The daisy, which opens at sunrise and closes at sunset (hence 'day's eye')...sees things only by the pure light of day."
