I have been wanting to do a design linked to Persephone for a while and have now created this richly beaded bag.

Kore, the daughter of Demeter was abducted by Hades, the God of the Underworld. Whilst she resided there, her mother searched for her desperately, abandoning her duties and the world lay desolate. Kore was transformed into Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, upon accepting the pomegrate seeds from Hades as she left to join her mother. This explains the turn of the seasons as whilst she resides up above the flowers bloom and the world is fertile, but when she has to return to her husband, Hades, the flowers die and winter comes. (Just a very brief retelling of the myth).

Hand embroidered bag (no machine) with metallic threads. The beads are all attached by hand, stitching each one in individually. It is of a good size that will be able to house many things from divinatory cards, crystals, spiritual items and as one customer has done - a Kindle!
