This bag is one of four, which I made to display in the art show at Lunacon 2009. I wanted my bags to be functional, yet still individual pieces of art. In other words, I wanted people to notice the picture first, and the bag second. This bag shows a lone wolf howling at the moon. It is made of linen and foiled linen, with a decorative quilter’s lame cotton for the side gusset. The stars in the night sky were created with Swarovski Rhinestones in crystal, auroras borealis, and black. The moon is an extension of the flap, and when the bag is opened, the entire night sky is displayed. The wolf appliqué is made of a cashmere blend wool, which gives it a furry texture that resembles the wolf’s coat.
