Opinions, please!

I've been doing more needle felting, but have turned toward more practical things. Will you help me?

Which do you like better? As a purse this way, with a zipper closure across the top? It measures about 5" (sides) by 8" (top & bottom)this way.


Or is it better this way, with a flap and maybe a button closure, or something as yet to be determined. It measures app 6 (sides) by 5 (top and bottom) this way.

Please let me know which way you like best. I like them both and can't decide.

Then there is this one. The color reminds me of the northern lights. It measures 8 1/2 (sides) by 7 1/2 (top). It closes with some yarn in a figure 8 around the buttons, like an envelope, and has 3 beaded thingies attached to the yarn.

It has a matching coin (or other small items) purse, about 3 by 5, with velcro closure all across the top.

Let's say you were wandering around an art/craft fair this summer, are these something you might expect to see, and might you be inclined to buy one? Anybody?

I apologize for this brief market research interruption.

    I'm not going to be much help at all...I like both. You know the top one could be a cell phone case!

    as a purse, I prefer option B. And if I saw the blue set at a craft sale, my wallet would be out and it would be mine! LOL - hope to see this in your storefront someday soon!

    Love those , especially the blue! For the orange, i like the design on the top one better, just more practical for me.

    I like both closures but I guess if I was hard pressed I'd go with zipper so stuff wouldn't fall out as I carried it, like phone or coins, or chapstick. Which is pretty much all I carry around with me. I love the swirl of colors on those.

    Zipper it is.

    Rick, you said the dreaded b word! I knew there was a reason I didn't like velcro.
