Sage says This was a custom order for a person with a small family. When I was thinking about what symbols and types of drawing meant family to me, I realized that the symbol for family is really very simple: two adults and a child, holding hands. And I realized that it could be expressed with very simple lines. Do they look like they're on the beach to you? Me too, but I didn't try to do that and I don't know why it looks that way. (Aren't you supposed to be off the beach by dusk anyway?) The front and back of the bag are both pictured here.

Feedback from the person who ordered the bag I absolutely love my 'Sage original' crocheted bag, and so does my 3-year-old. I consider it wearable art, and I know noone else will have anything even remotely like it. My mom asked me if the irony of the situation had escaped me - that I had ordered a beautiful, hand made bag from a young woman who lives in a yurt VIA THE INTERNET!!! Believe me, it has not, but I think that's what makes it so very cool.
