I love it best added to the right bottom. Makes the bag really special I think.

Trial and error is the only way.
I think you are definately on the right track. I too like the first option.

thanks aimee… top and centre was my original plan… mind you, that was when it was a small simple felted flower

as it got bigger (with each new idea I had) I moved it further down the bag

thanks twiggy!

the black that you see in the body of the bag is video tape, and I have teamed it with a DK acrylic… and the leather looking handle with the buckle is indeed a belt…

no rash or chemical reaction whatsoever

BUT…

it can be quite SQUEAKY to work with

thanks misha… my thoughts exactly (spooky – we really MUST be twins)

the bag itself recedes, and the flower POPS… but I need something to act as a transition between the two

thanks mandy… I think my dilema is that although the red ’spruces up’ the bag… I still need to add something more, to tie together the neutral background, and the vibrant embellishing

I’m breaking with trend here to say that I LOVE it top-and-center. It looks more balanced to me up there. Best of luck with it!

Love the flower as well as the lower position….Fresh eyes and something red in the lining peeking out to catch the eye! Yup – you’ve got another winner!!!!
OH: the bag with the leather looking handle with buckle: was that bag crocheted from the VHS tape or was that some sort of yarn? Very hard to tell from the photo… my question if it was tape – did you experience any rash or chemical reaction from working with the tape?

I like the flower but not how it goes with the bag. Maybe the bag needs more colour to be more in line with the flower. But the flower itself is very effective!
