On a recent visit to the big city (beautiful Sydney, Australia) my senses were totally ambushed by the hustle & bustle, the perpetual activity & chaos of the place – non-stop traffic streams, roundabouts, flickering buildings, sun struck glass & chrome & unexpected parklands – relax, I told myself… embrace the colours, textures & ambience – ‘Urban Blues’ evolved & is the compilation & impressions of those city images.
Introducing ‘Beaches’ a freeform crochet/knit handbag, inspired by the golden sands & blue waters of Australia….
The colours & textures for this piece have been in my mind for a long time & I’m so happy to finally have it done – little knitting, some Tunisian & of course lots of crochet motifs all came together beautifully I think….

Anyone who has seen Australia’s beautiful Acacia in its full-bloom glory will appreciate the lovely warm tones that inspired this little handbag – although I rarely keep track, I think I may have incorporated over 40 different yarns when creating this piece….
I love this little handbag, it’s just so cute & gorgeous – perfect for that special evening out.
Freeform crochet with just a touch of bling has been stitched & glued to an existing bag.
The gusset has been worked in Tunisian crochet.
The inside is lined in black satin & has a small pocket.
The snap clip gives secure closure.
