V8590 - A Finished Purse

Well, t's done and I have an hour and a half to go before the contest end. The purse went together very well and I am very pleased. And here it is.

Making the fastner was fun. I found a packet of plastic buttons at JoAnn's that looked interesting but weren't the right color. So I painted them with some purple acrylic paint. It took two coats, but it dried with a matte finish -- yuk! I used quick drying top coat fingernail polish to create a nice shiny surface. And here they are drying.

I used the contrasting sham as the lining and the inside of the pocket.
