Art Nouveau Mermaid Bag

Created By Karen

Karen made this beautiful and unique bag at her daughter's request. She writes... "My daughter wanted a mermaid on a bag for the beach, and it had to be your Art Nouveau Madison Mermaid. It also had to be made out of her old jeans. Needless to say, I had to be a little creative with the design so I did half on the pet screen and half on the outside pocket. She and I are actually quite pleased with the result." The result is fabulous, Karen! The pet screen is perfect for a beach bag, while the denim should hold up to a lot of use. The mermaid design looks terrific on both. I love the design of this bag. Excellent work! Thanks for sharing this innovative project with us. See Kenny's Fabrics 101: Embroidering on Screen for some tips on working with this material.
