The finished purse (pre-blocking)...

Machine-stitching around the edges of the bag...
...in order to transform it into a more symmetrical-looking piece.
Trimming off the 'chicken drumsticks' :( ...
...and the excess felt.
Finally...
...the purse, turned inside-out...

Finalement, I come to the end of my 'Peculiar Projects' series...
...and it's time for those of you who like this sort of challenge to come forward!
I apologize ahead of time to my readers who live outside the US...
...but due to the recent expenses with my daughter's wedding...
...this give-away will be open only to those who reside in the 48 contiguous US states.
Please post a comment on this post if you would like to be entered in a drawing...
...for some combination of the polka dot bag...
...the neuronal tablet cover...
...the eco-dyed helmet...
...today's 'chicken drumsticks' purse...
...or the multiple-resist bag.
In your comment, please tell me which project you would prefer to zhuzh the most...
...and I will try to coordinate your 'most wanted' if you are one of the winners.
I will draw three names only...
...and these winners may be surprised to find additional finished and un-finished projects or supplies...
...among their 'booty' when it arrives.
This drawing will remain open until midnight EST on November 5th, 2013...
...and I will announce the winners in my November 6th blog post.
Please make sure that I have a way to contact you by e-mail!

I'm not in the US, so good luck to all entrants!
Sorry, Rachel...and thanks! XO
OK, I'll take a chance. My preference would be the Neuronal tablet cover, if I should be one of the "lucky" ones chosen. Right now, I don't see a lot of competition, but hopefully, before you draw names, there will be several in competition here. :)
Sandie-so far, you are 'it'!
