Back to Beads and Fibers...

Well I was thinking I'd be able to have more design and creation time while in Montana this summer but, I was wrong. The climate is right however, the allure of the outdoors has been compelling. Yesterday, I finally said "no more" and declined on the camping trip to an island on Flathead Lake and took the quiet time alone to get quiet a bit of things done. Here's one example using the concept of a pouch like the Huichol Indians from Mexico:

Yesterday I was able to complete this one, that I had started weeks ago, along with 7 others in several different shapes and sizes. Some are made to adjust in length. Others have a home made clasp. Some fit right over your head. This one in particular is my favorite in shape because it stashes a credit card, drivers license, and some cash just perfect!

Now to name them. I was thinking Neck Purse-onalities or neck purses? Hum, not quite sure. Idea's are welcome!
