It is a drawstring style backpack with added wings, the patterning on the wings inspired by peacock feathers. I'm not sure whether it is flamboyant enough, but then not many people (over the age of 7!) walk around wearing a great big pair of wings, so maybe it is.
I challenged myself not to buy any new fabric - although it wasn't too much of a challenge since I have quite a collection of scraps... there is an old shirt in there too... I love to use different fabrics under layers of different sheers so that the result looks different depending on the light and which way you look at it - difficult to capture in a photograph though.
So, fingers crossed!

it's stunning Helen - well done. If nothignelse it's a new range for the shop - I'm sure there are lots of people out there who would love it!
They are gorgeous - you did a magnificent job of mixing colors and fabrics - I knew there were sheers there from your photo, even before you mentioned it :)

Best wishes for the Diploma, I do think that it will be so good. I started an OU degree and it is amazing how confidence grows as you go on with it.
dropped by to see if you'd updated with how the course is going - I'm guessing you're *quite* busy ;-)
