TOTE/CARPET BAG knitted,felted & needle felted in a variety of gorgeous yarns & ROVING to produce this theme tote depicting beautiful LAKE HARRIET in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lake Harriet, the walking path, road, bandshell and the beautiful rose garden ( satin roses are knitted and felted into this tote) depict a lovely respite in our City of Lakes. This is a very large tote which can be used for overnight, carry on or just to get a multiple of items from one place to the next in style. The beautiful Lake Harriet Bandshell was knitted & felted separately and then pieces cut to create the bandshell & then needle felted to give it a three dimentional look. It is surrounded by massive tree lined beauty and the large glass window reflects the blue of Lake Harriet . Two lovely I Cord handles & two lovely blue shell buttons complete the top edge & the interior has two lovely, large pockets. Summer breezes & symphonic sounds waft through this popular lakeside area.

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
