A bra by any other name is still a bra, even if it's a purse. My ClothPaperStudio Yahoo group issued a challenge in January- alter a bra. I found some instructions on making a purse from the Wrights' website, and went ahead with this little number. I jazzed it up some with the polymer clay pin, which of course has Swarovski crystals. I used doilies and Lumiere paints to cover the "cups"- and the underwires became the purse opening. I purchased the handles from JoAnnes, but inked them with Pinata inks so that the colors would match. Nothing too fabulous, but it was a good exercize in creativity. What can you do with a bra?
