Crocheted from jute twine and lined with a fun, colorful cotton fabric; this bag/purse is very durable and fun. I will try any fiber to experiment and see what happens with the fibers. I also placed wooden beads in several strategic places to embellish the flap and also strands of beads add an additional fun touch to the flap closure. (The shoulder strap is also lined to help curb undo stress/stretch on the jute.) It is fun to work with natural fibers creating something useful and fun. It amazes me to find materials around my home for creative endeavors.

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
