RED CARPET

I made this bag using satin material that I cut out of my red dress. This is a birthday gift for my niece Sydney, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! This is from the red dress that I wore in the Ms. Black Teen Beauty Pageant during my last year of High School. Although I came in second place I felt like a winner. I actually won for Ms. Congeniality though. I remember all my friends cheering me on and I got to perform on stage and shine. When I look at my neice she reminds me of everything that was wonderful in that moment; she shines. She is sensitive and sweet, talented and already a super star in her own right. I am inspired by watching her shine in everything that she does. She turned 11 today and I know that her future is bright. I can already see her walking down the red carpet at the grammys or oscars, maybe she'll let me design her dress:-) But for now here is a bag and some matching earings that I made.
