It's made for someone with larger than life personality


 
I was asked to make a bag using denim, leather, feathers, beads, and my 
imagination.

Here's what I came up with. All I want to say is I want: 
to thank all the participants mentioned 
above for their full cooperation. 😁 
It seems that they all agreed to please the future owner of this bag.
My goal was to create a well-thought-out, 100% functional, 
visually appealing and whimsical design. 
I kept this process in my head for almost two weeks, 
listening to my thoughts and planning each step. 
I had all the pieces and fabric ready and then BOOM, 
I made it, working 17 hours straight without a break from 11am to 4am. 
The next morning I attached the strap and connected all the bead strands
 and feather constructions.
And the Diva came to life!

While I was thinking about making a bag,
 I made myself these amazing earrings from 
the smallest feathers

Soul of the Sahara large raw edge leather hobo with full flash labradorite teardrop cabs asymmetrical fringe

 

The Soul of Sahara is live in my shop  
 
Let’s make this beautiful story true one day, let’s make Sahara Desert bloom again ❤️
Listen to the wind, that's the Sahara crying. She wants to bloom again.
The Sahara hasn't always been a desert. She used to be a beautiful green land.
Her inhabitants respected nature. They lived there and were happy.
They reared animals, they farmed and they hunted.
They loved their land and their land loved them.
 
 

Then greedy men came and misfortune spread.
These men wanted not a fortune but land. And no amount of land satisfied them, they always wanted more.
And when they hunted, they killed, not to feed themselves but to show their bravado.
They destroyed forests, not to protect themselves from the rain or the sun but to build palaces.
These unscrupulous people so deeply wounded the Sahara that she became a desert.
Still her people showed their love for her and stayed put.
The Sahara was touched. To thank them for their love, She gave them an oasis and the Banks of the great river Niger.
But still, She remained unhappy.
Listen to the wind, that's the Sahara crying, She wants to bloom again.
 


 
One day a wise man came.
The Sahara asked him: How can I recapture the harmony I once knew?
“Embrace upright and proud men, men who respect nature.”
The wise man added: “One day, a man will come. He will breathe life back into the grass and the trees you once knew. This is a man of integrity. He will sacrifice his life for your plants.
But to reclaim this lost paradise, he must chase away the greedy men. And that will be a very difficult task.
Fortunately, a loyal servant will help him overcome the obstacles and conquer his enemies. This man has with him the seeds that will make you blossom again.”
Listen to the wind. That's the Sahara crying. She wants to bloom again.
She’s waiting for a man of integrity to make her green again.
The more you respect Mother Nature, the more you love her, the faster you will make the desert bloom.
