It's Sunday. First day of school tomorrow for kids here. Finally last night I tackled the coral seahorse tote again and finished it this morning! I just need to tack down the lining. The coral print fabric is so lovely. I used black plastic netting over black satin for the seahorse texture. It was difficult because of course I didn't think of it until I had the pocketed lining in! Then I sewed coral bead necklaces on the seahorses but it wasn't a happenin' look so I removed them. Still . . . might need something more - black bead waves? Hmm.

Here's a detail of the seahorses. I traced them from a photo I took of a magnificent gate at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
