The Raven theme is presented here on the Carpet Bag. This lovely handbag has two exterior semi-circular pockets that hold items that are needed on the fly, and the inside lining is just perfect for the woman who likes organization! The story of the Raven comes from I Kings 17:1-6 where the prophet Elijah flees from the evil King Ahab to the brook of Cherith. It was here that the ravens fed Elijah "bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening", a reminder of God's providence and hope. Limited Edition (2). One of these handbags sold at a silent auction for a fundraiser in Cranbury, NJ.
This particular Carpet Bag is composed predominately of black fabric. I have used many different textures and patterns to bring flavor and variety. A closer look will reveal velvet, taffeta, a cotton blend with tan polka-dots, gingham, a raised flora print of black on black poly blend, and a confident black and tan paisley. The "cascade"
Detail of the Raven. I have used an old button I found in a box of treasures for the eye.
The inside detail presents large gingham pockets, some small, some large, to hold your big ole' sunglasses, your blackberry, pens, lipsticks, etc., and the two side pockets are perfect for items that aren't always needed right away.
Just another view.
