"Spirit Bags"
© "Southwestern Echoes"

Made with natural materials...(stones ~ gems ~ fossils ~ minerals ~ suede)...that gives each bag it's own personality.  It is hoped that these "Spirit Bags" will nurture a feeling of "oneness" between the wearer and the Earth.
Similar in size to Amulet Bags, averaging 2 inches by 2 inches, minus the fringe.

My "Spirit Bags" are all Original Designs.  There is only ONE of each bag.  Please don't ask me to duplicate a bag ~ it can't and won't be done.  In this way, you are assured of buying an Original Creation that will be yours and yours alone.
Besides, it's a lot more satisfying for me to "create" rather than "duplicate"!


"Denim Suite"

      

A Southwestern Dream, this "Spirit Bag" is emblazoned with a bold, denim-blue Dumortierite focal stone.  The bag and strap are embellished with deep bronze luster, bi-cone Czech beads, white pearl, denim luster, and deep bronze seed beads, and beveled, bronze colored cube beads.  A "Twisted" fringe and an intricate edge beading complete this beautiful bag.  Done on fine grained, caramel colored pigskin suede.
30 inch strap.


DUMORTIERITE ~ According to gemstone lore, Dumortierite promotes harmony, self-discipline, precision, and the ability to organize.

"Strawberry Sundae"

       

Done on a dusty, strawberry pink suede, this "Spirit Bag" features a unique conglomerate focal stone made up mainly of Rhodonite embedded in agate.
A very rare, once-in-a-lifetime find!  I then encircled this magnificent stone with tiny, matching Freshwater Pearls, "white-gold" glass seed beads, and opaque dusty pink seed beads.  The twisted fringe is embellished with more tiny Freshwater Pearls and Mother of Pearl hearts.  Mother of Pearl nuggets, pink glass hearts, and even more matching tiny Freshwater Pearls decorate the 30" strap.
A Masterpiece in Dusty Strawberry Pink !

RHODONITE ~  According to gemstone lore, Rhodonite promotes peace and has a soothing effect on the wearer.


PEARL/MOTHER OF PEARL ~ While not really stones or gems, pearls and Mother of Pearl are natural gifts of living sea creatures.  Traditionally, the pearl represents serene, peaceful energy, and inner strength.

PRICE: $100.00  ORDER #SB-106-SS SOLD

 

"Amethyst Salute"

      

Deep purple suede with a Sterling Silver beaded edge stitching are only the beginnings of this majestic "Spirit Bag".  The Amethyst chevron cabochon at center stage is dramatically banded with white to clear agate and shaded from deep purple to pale lavender.  The beaded embellishment surrounding the cabochon emphasizes every hue in the stone.
Amethyst nuggets, deep purple iris cube beads, and Sterling Silver beads adorn the twisted, transparent amethyst colored seed bead fringe.  The 30" strap is clustered with more amethyst nuggets, spaced between sterling silver beads and purple iris cube beads.
A Majestic Bag of the Highest Ranking!

AMETHYST ~ Associated with nobility ~ promotes spiritual awareness ~ grants the wearer with inner peace.
