HANDSOME PURSE.
MATERIALS..—1 reel of ombré; crimson silk, in short shades; 1 of grey
ditto; 3 skeins of rich brown purse twist, 1 skein of white ditto, 2
hanks of steel beads, No. 5; 12 rows of transparent white seed beads,
2 handsome steel slides, and a few steel bugles. The silk must all be
of the finest size, and the work is to be done very tightly.
Begin the purse by threading the steel beads on the brown silk, and
the white on the ombré; crimson.
This crimson is used for the rose, and for the three small flowers;
the colored silk seen through the transparent bead has an extremely
pretty effect; the leaves are entirely in steel beads, as is also the
scroll which ornaments the lower part of the purse. The large flower
close to the rose is done in the grey silk.
HANDSOME PURSE.
