Tamara's finished piece, looking beautiful...


Tamara Fogle's bag in the making...


Inspired by little orange flowers...


Susan Prout has been working on designing a clutch bag, with inspiration taken from drawings of flowers found on her piece of the canvas. She's taken a subtle and delicate approach with the design, "I've drawn a rose stencil and cut it out on the leather, with bits of the canvas showing through in natural, yellow and red. I also wanted the bag to reflect something fun and happy - as the children are, even if in a dire situation."

The bag is still in the making and we can't wait to see the final thing!
