The Ocean Hiker Tote






These colors remind me of the sea with all the Cancun blue and green shades. This was strip pieced and I used a simple stitch to attach the batting. I have used various colors of thread and stitched on seed, bugle and swarovsky crystal beads on the front. I will be making a button out of polymer clay to match the colors of the bag. The quilted lining is a nice complimentary blue color and features two interior pockets. This may be worn over your shoulder and should sit right over your hip. It is long enough to carry one or two bottles of water for your hiking excursions at the beach!

About Me

My photo
I enjoy silversmithing, making jewelry, beads and working with paracord. I sculpt in polymer clay and desert themes are my favorite. I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the beauty of nature into my work. My work has been published in a large book called "1000 Beads," Lark Jewelry and Beading, 2014. I have sold beads through the Glendale Bead Museum Shop, a gallery in Tucson and www.wearartbyjulie.etsy.com. I'm an artist currently showing my jewelry at the Shemer Art Center in Phoenix, AZ.
