Labyrinth Worm purse

worm purse front

        Inspired by the Jim Henson movie, Labyrinth, which starred David Bowie and Jennifer Connely.

     The worm was hand carved, cast and painted by myself. He has carefully styled hair and a wool felt scarf.

             He measures aprox. 3 inches long and 3 inches high (not including the hair). He is made from Urethane resin and weighs 75 grams. There is a powerful magnet embedded on his underside as well as in the purse, allowing him to easily "snap" in place. Because it's a powerful magnet, he'll even stick to the refrigerator. The purse has two wires to twist around his neck under his scarf, for extra security.

     The wooden box purse has a hand painted barn owl on the back and is varnished over several times. The inside lid has a mirror along with a quote from the movie. "If you look into it, it will show you your dreams..." The bottom is lined with easy to clean vinyl and has two elastic loops sewn on the sides for lipstick, chapstick or anything that will fit.

     The handle is glass beads and wire, reminiscent of the bracelet Sarah wore in the film. There is also a long black cord handle. Both handles are removable. There are upholstery pins on the pack and on the bottom, for decoration and to help protect the finish of the box.
