Purses and more

I am enjoying crochet so much that I thought I would explore the possibilities of producing some different items. What do you think of these purses?

I've really enjoyed making these. The shape is based on a pattern I made for some embroidered purses which I listed some while ago. It is a practical shape and seems to compliment the shape of the folded mandala design on the purse flap.

The small rosette in the centre of the first photo is worked in finer crochet cottons. I love the bright colours. This is a hint of things to come - perhaps key fobs, scissor fobs ....
