Beaded Parrot Purse
Beaded parrot purse. Same design on both sides, although the parrot is facing a different direction on the back. I love the colors on this purse. The fringe colors are cream, navy, cranberry and match the floral borders. There is a lot of color in the design and metallic beading throughout adds sparkle to the bird, tree, and foliage. This purse would have started its life as a reticule, the attached frame is not large enough for the purse & pulls the sides in at the top.
Collection of Kathy Gunderson
