Featuring: Dot Lewallen at 1 Stop Bead Shop

We wanted to share a wonderful purse with you that was begun in one of our classes. Dot Lewallen has been featured in "Doll Crafter and Costuming." She uses Beanie Babies and recycles them into art!

Dot writes: It all started with a class at 1 Stop Bead Shop here in Columbus. I got to take a class with Sherry Serafini: the beaded purse class. Well, after working on and off for this whole total month, it is DONE as of late last night.
