Mixed Messages by Sharon S

 This is my first challenge of the season but when it was announced I immediately knew that I wanted to participate.  A friend and I had just had a discussion about the messages that society gave us as we are of an age that our career choices were pretty limited to housewife, secretary, teacher and nurse.  We were never really exposed to options so that we might have had bigger dreams. So for me the making of a messenger bag was a great symbol for this.

And during the construction as I thought more about the “messages” concept I started to find examples from within me of deep concerns about the mixed messages that we have been receiving from political and religious leaders that are tending to create divisions within family, friendship groups, communities and between various other groups of people.
