My mom likes the designs I paint on my purses, but she actively dislikes messenger bags. So for her birthday (August 24th) I went out and got a nice black Nine West bag and just painted the BEJESUS out of it. Momma is from Africa originally, so I put a protea on it. A protea is a big scary African flower that looks like it could be Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors. Momma also likes the mourning doves that hang out near our house and coo and eat birdseed and are just generally precious, so I put two on there for her. And voila!
Would you like to see a detail? I bet you would.
I shall give Mom the bag this weekend, I will report back on her reaction (hopefully glee, fingers crossed).
