MAGPIE

 I've just finished my Magpie Bag. It's one of the book report bags that I've been working on. The book that inspired this piece of beadwork is " George" by Frieda Hughes. It's a magical endearing memoir. Frieda, living in the Welsh countryside rescues the poor little abandoned magpie baby. I think we all have had the experience of taking care of the baby bird who has no home. I remember a little sparrow that we took care of when we were kids, feeding him bread soaked in milk with tweezers. We called him Flutter and he successfully grew up and flew away. So, I loved this book! And I love the truly unruly Magpies that we have here in the yard, they are endlessly entertaining.

GAUGING INTEREST IN THESE KITS?

 Okay, this is what I've been up to. These bags (the leather part, are 9 by 6 and 1/2 inches and the beadwork is 5 by 7 inches ).  There is a one inch gusset so they hold the just right amount. I have a wallet, cell phone, keys, comb and glasses in mine and it fits quite nicely. What I'm trying to figure out is if there any interest for these larger kits? And if so which one is more popular or do you like both? I've been counting the beads as I go so now it's time to start weighing and bagging beads but I don't want to start before I know if you guys are interested. There kits would have to be $200.00 each plus shipping. Also, they really are not for beginners. If you have done any of my kits in the past you kinda know what to expect. I only have the supplies for 20 bags, 10 of each. So these are my question to you, is it too expensive and which one do you like or both? Thanks for your input fellow beaders. I've had requests for larger bags so here they are. What do you think?
