miniature - Blue White Bag

Beaded Charm Bag with Swarovski

Miniature Charm Bag: Blue + White (CC47)

I started playing around with making miniature "things" recently. One of these "things" turned out to be miniature charm bags. First I tried working with any old seed beads I had but quickly found that you need very precise and consistently sized beads to make the little miniatures really work.

This little miniature bag is done in Swarovski 5328 XILION bicone beads and Swarovski 5810 pearls. And for the really small bits, I used Czech Metallic Copper seed beads.

I have am also showing the picture of the second miniature Swarovski charm bag done in Copper Czech seed beads (sz 11), Swarovski 5301 White Alabaster and White Alabaster AB bicones (4mm), and Swarovski 5810 Antique Bronze pearls (3mm). This second miniature is no longer available as I gave it away to a lovely lady named Joyce.

	Done with Swarovski bicones and pearls with the seedies in Czech silver metallic.		I should have taken a photo with this in my hand or next to a coin or something to give you an idea of sizing .. but not having done that and being too lazy to take more photos, I am showing the measurements here.
	Here it is shown with another variation as mentioned above.
