Heidi looked through my collection of fabrics and decided on a neutral green velveteen for the purse's foundation fabric.
She is going to create pockets for the interior of the box with a lining fabric.
The edges of the balsa wood purse body will be covered with decorative art paper. This required a trip to USArtQuest in Chelsea Michigan, which has a large stock of beautiful art papers.
Heidi selected a green paper with concentric circles printed on it. The circles reminded her of the song of the cicadas. Because of the paper selection the color of the lining changed to a golden satin similar in color to some of the concentric circles.
Heidi's idea is to bead the cicadas in vibrant colors which will contrast against the neutral green velveteen. She will be employing the technique of beaded applique.
