Musical Amulet Bag

OK, the bag doesn't play music.
This is a photo of the first amulet bag, made with gourd (peyote) stitch, that I completely finished. I designed it using a computer bead design program. The inspiration was my choir director, I wanted to say thank you to her for all her work, and show her how much she means to me. The notes are actually the first line of a song that was one of our favorites at that time, I don't remember now what it was called. The photo's not that great, the background is cream, the staff is burgendy, the notes are blue. The blue is carried to the fringe with glass crystal beads, and the bottom of the fringe is freshwater pearls.
