Fascinating wool & soy fibers knitted and felted to create beautiful & functional bowls, trivets & coasters. It is exciting to explore different shapes and fibers to create something beautiful & useful for home or office. Densely felted these organic pottery pieces offer an appreciation for Nature & an expanding opportunity for unique designs with inspiration from different cultures & traditions. Unique & versatile with a variety of uses. The possibilities are endless. Unique & multi-faceted the knitting & felting process is unpredictable and once I am working with the piece-suddenly I know what works and it becomes art. The smaller bowl nests into the larger bowl for added convenience. (trivets & coasters sprayed on backs with non-skid adhesive for safety)

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
