Dia De Los Muertos Bag

Dia De Los Muertos Bag - 20-21 October, 2009

This bag was inspired by the variegated yarn called Limbo Mexiko that I bought at The Loft the other day. When crocheted in single crochet, it looks like serape material. I used tapestry crochet to insert my skull pattern into the design, then added crocheted roses under the skull, and a row of turquoise teardrops and two tiny bone skull beads above. The patters is the same on both sides. I had just enough of the variegated yarn left to twist into the cord for the shoulder strap, and I added a scalloped fringe along the bottom of the bag to edge the design.

I love it! We just had a giant Dia De Los Muertes All Souls Procession her in Tucson. I have one question though, what is tapestry crochet? Is that added on top of the worked piece? -Freya
