Jewelry and Handbag Trunk Show
September 18, 2009
6:00-9:00PM
Featuring one-of-a-kind handbags by The Magic Bag Lady Michele Kramp and Loteria Jewelry by Lisa Ackley.

Lisa Ackley is compelled to make things she can’t find. She's spent most of her life creating art and small treasures for friends and family, usually clever and always with a sense of humor. Lisa earned a BFA in sculpture from the University of Houston and Masters in Art Education at Wayne State University in Detroit.

Lisa's designs are hand-drawn originals, inspired by Loteria (bingo) images from Mexico. Each polystyrene charm is hand crafted (no two are exactly alike), signed and dated, then sealed for protection. Glass beads and jewelry findings complete the look.

The Loteria-Style is all about color and looking at words and objects in new ways; the fun part, of course, is matching them up into pairs/groups that mean something to the wearer and expresses the wearer’s individual personality.

Michele Kramp received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in apparel design and merchandising from Wayne State University. She founded The Magic Bag Lady, LLC in 2003. All MBL handbags are one-of-a-kind creations using recycled and reused fabrics.
