Persian Garden Tote

Sewing and Painting By Mary Maki Rae - Carved Fox By Robert Rae - 2010(c)

******************************************

A New Tote - this time of gray linen - with an insert of small pieces of mostly Paisley Upholstery fabrics stitched together in a geometric pattern.

Leaving this insert open at the top creates a nice convienient pocket to keep your gloves - reading glasses - or book handy.

Seated beside the tote is "Mr. Fox" - a World Traveler - here at home - in his Custom-made Silk Jacket - Vest - and Elegantly tied Cravat.

He seems to me to be reminiscing about his many travels abroad.

Close Up of the Pocket - It reminds me of a small abstract "Persian Garden"
