Here is Maiden, named for the collage image inside of the purse. I purchased the image on Etsy. I love the native, Caribbean feel of it. I wish I knew more about it.

Again, we have the persnickety appliques on cork (see the sides). But I learned a lot from the previous purse I made.

If anyone knows anything about this image, I’d love to hear from you. I added all the gold elements to it.

That’s not an optical illusion. The paint on the edges is “hombre”.
