Zentangle Purse

After years of hit and miss...purses I loved, purses I hated...I have developed an actual PURSE CRITERIA:

Any new purse must have these four essential elements:

1. Lightweight: (Made of fabric, leather is too heavy)
2. Cross-body strap
3. Lining cannot be black
4. Two outside pockets (one for cellphone, one for keys)

I can't stand this kind of shoulder carry...and this purse would be heavy to begin with, and I'll bet it has a black lining.

Here's another example of a purse that "Will Not Work For Rita"...with this kind of carry --my left hand is not free...

My current purse is perfect. It's made out of canvas, weighs almost nothing, and has outside pockets.

Of course, it didn't look this way when I bought it.  I cut the short handle, then added the black cross-body strap...

To coordinate with the flashy new strap -- I decided to use a Sharpie to do a little zentangle-ing...

THREE pockets?  Such luxury...

Inside the main key pocket flap...

I zentangled the bottom, too...

Perfect, really.  Lightweight, crossbody, not too deep...I can find everything.
