A while ago some of you wanted to see what the darker version of the trim that I bought looked like. Truth is, it took me ages to match up this dark grey ribbon. I knew I wanted a bold colour to go with it, but not too colourful. And I certainly didn't want to use any fabrics containing grey. Then I came across the Japanese flag and it hit me! A red/white combo of course, hence the name 'Miss Japan'.
The red was bold enough to counterbalance the dark grey of the trim; mixed with white it didn't overpower it either. I had a hard time finding the polka dot fabric - mostly you get reversed colours, i.e. white dots on bright red. But I wanted the trim to be the eye-catcher, not the red colour. I was so glad when I stumbled upon this mini polka-dot fabric. There is a slight discrepancy of the reds, but since the eye is drawn to the whimsical trim, I don't think one notices. I like the way it turned out, and although the fabrics aren't Japanese, I do think this bag has a Japanese feel to it, don't you?

The make up bag looks so adorable Duni!!! Infact every purse or bag you make is very adorable and I like the colours and prints you use for making these lovely purses !! You definitely have a great sense of colours and ofcourse yes this bag has a Japanese look..
ReplyDeleteI, of course, think you are marvelous and so very talented.
ReplyDeleteMiss Japan is so cute!
I'm not a polka dot person, but the trim does focus your eye and brings it all together!!
Hi Duni! I love the fact that the red's aren't similar. I love polka dots and dotted swiss material. I think the bag is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteDeanna :D
its so cute! The bottom half of the bag reminds me of Japan..probably because of the floral and because its so gentle
ReplyDeleteI think the colors you chose are perfect! The contrast is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYes, absolutely I can feel the bag has a Japanese feel because of your lovely combination.
ReplyDeleteThe bag is so cute also, as always.
I always love your sense of color and pattern. You remind me to have fun with colors when I'm making the beads.
ReplyDeleteI love it! And you're right, the colors are perfect, together!
ReplyDeleteOh, that bag is beautiful. I made a bag for the first time this weekend and am sad to say, it did not come out with such a perfectly constructed look. I'll have to keep admiring yours.
