Octo Bag

Yes, Another Lion Faced Bag

This one, however, makes use of piecing as a means to create the chequey background in linen. The applique is wool and is being worked in perl cotton using a combination of chain, stem, and running stiches with some ladder lacing between. Eventually, this entire piece will be put onto a bag flap and will become largess.
