Finished this today. The strap took FOREVER!!!! I used a product similar to the cord diva but found lots cheaper in the children's party department of The Rag Shop before it went out of business. I love the results, used 8 strands of 6 different fibers and 1 strand of 1" sheer metallic wired ribbon for strength. I had to do a length about 2 yards long. My estimate it took about 6 hours. I do like it, but I probably would have liked a twisted cord too and that would have taken about 15 minutes!
Thanks for the nice comments about this effort. Can't wait to use it and see the reactions!
Now I have to work on some samples for EGA Merchandising. Our Guild will be selling items at the Regional 
Seminar. The Scissors Fobs went over very well last year. This year we are planning Napkin Rings, a needle book/scissor case, more fobs, and this face pin if I can locate a bunch of the little crocheted hats.

WOW! I must say this is "trippy"! (And that's a compliment.) I can see Janis Joplin carrying this bag with pride....
This bag is fabulous!
Your bag is fantastic! I just love your work. May I ask what did you use for the base fabric? Love the colors.
Stephanie- You always do fantastic work on all of your creations. And your paisley purse is no exception. It is marvelous. It is not a purse....it is a work of art. Great job.

Stunning results Stephanie! For sure the time you invested in the handle indeed paid off. It complements the bag beautifully.
