Angora linen sweater b.jpg
I had a lot of white angora yarn, but not enough for an entire sweater.  I finally decided to create this sweater using the 100% angora for the bodice and 100% linen for the off-the-shoulder sleeves.  To give it some more panache, I added the knitted bobble clusters of grapes made out of the linen with angora leaves and vines.  It looks fabulous with a long black skirt and a strand of pearls.

Cigar Boxes > Green Frog Morton Purse - 2004 (4) > Green frog purse 1 2004.jpg

The cigar box is green.  It has not been altered.  My husband smokes a delightful type of pipe tobacco that is manufactured by McClelland Tobacco Company.  The tobacco tins have beautiful labels of a frog smoking a pipe.  The labels are so interesting that they had to be used on this green cigar box.  The purse is finished with a white beaded tassel, large green glass beaded handle, bar clasp closure and  solid brass feet.   It's a fun purse for an evening out on the town.
