den, NY on Monday (Feb 9, 2009) and were received with a round of applause. On the same day, I received 5 additional requests for specific dog breeds, outside of the show! God is good! I am always open for special requests to create a tote with the doggie of your choice on it. Just send me a note via the comment option and I can send you a bill via PayPal. These Tote's are $80.German Short Hair Pointer and Beagle are also available. (Photos to come soon)
~ From and earlier post on the Tote: I have, on occaision, accepted commissions to craft bags to a person's requests. As a designer of bespoke handbags, I am pleased to meet with clients to design a bag that is an external expression of their internal interests and passions. Accepting the request to make a dog bag posed quite a challenge for me, for the dog is looked upon quite unfavorably in Scripture. I didn't want to use a negative scripture verse to accompany my handbags. After plowing through just about every reference to the dog in the Bible, I finally found a passage that was just right. Ecclesiastes, I found, sheds a different light on this animal, by not giving in to despair, but finding hope in those that are lost. "But whoever is joined with all the living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion." (Eccl. 9:4) For this reason alone, I chose the theme "All Dogs Go To Heaven". God's grace and boundless love is open to all, even the dogs in this world.
The back of the tote displays my signature cascade of fabric, although vertically, rather than horizontally. The fabrics vary from bag to bag, but it is a good mix of tweeds, cordurory, cotton blends, wool houndstooth, velvet, and poly blends. Inside, I have added a ring to hold additional leads or collars. There are also two pockets.
