Fun metallic purse

I've been wanting to make some metallic clutches for awhile, but never could find quite the right fabric. I had a customer ask for a metallic bronze clutch, and so I went on a search for the right fabric. We both like a bronze leather, but it had to ship from Canada and she needs it soon, so we went with a spandex fabric I found.  In fact, I'm pretty sure it's the same sort of stuff gymnasts use on their uniforms.
 You'll notice that it's not really bronze.  In fact, it's a very bright copper.  I contacted my customer with pictures and she liked it, so we went with it.
 I really like these turquoise colored stones, sadly my supplier is out of them.
I really love how this turned out and am planning on using the leftover copper fabric for some other purses.  I'd also like to buy some silver and gold from the same company.
