Collection for Galaxy Pageants UK - Finally finished!!!

Phew!!! The collection is done and the bags are eagerly awaiting their new home in the winners and finalists hands!

Late 2009, I was asked by Galaxy Pageants to be an official prize sponsor for their contest in March.
I gladly accepted. This was a nice experience to create pretty, sparkly and girly products as most of my creations up until now have been quite vintage inspired.

The aim was to use the Union Jack as a design feature. Last year, the winner Hayley Mac took a bag with the design to the internationals in America where it proved quite popular. My mission - to create a similar idea for my collection, but handmade and individual of course.

So....here are the completed designs! There is a clutch for each winner (Miss & Miss Teen Galaxy) and the 5 runners up in each category will receive a purse.

The Victory Sparkle - Gold

This is the winners clutch for 'Miss Galaxy UK 2010'
The main fabric is Duchess Satin in Gold.
Lined with a Black Satin.
Lace & Ribbon detail with clear Hot-Fix diamante.
The bag is fastened using a brass magnetic clasp.

The Victory Sparkle - Black
