Now, to share my Prima/Faber-Castell DMC projects! I did 2 projects for this hop...

First up is a purse I made with Donna Downey's refill canvas pages, some canvas resist pieces and of course Faber-Castell DMC Gelatos, Aquarelles, and Pitt Artist pens.

 A pocket made from one of the resist canvas pieces with Gelatos over a Prima mask, pens, modeling paste and Aquarelles.

 The back of the purse!  Some more modeling paste, Gelatos, resist canvas pieces.

 Inside of the purse with some more Gelatos!  I used ribbon for the handles.
