Large needlepoint work of Schloss Neuschwanstein castle in Bavaria. This piece took three years to complete and is framed under glass to protect the work which will be handed down to my children. 'Mad" Ludwig's famous castle in Bavaria was used in Disney's "Sleeping Beauty". "Cinderella", "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and other movies and television shows. Neuschwanstein Castle, royal palace in the Bavarian Alps of Germany, the most famous of three royal palaces built for Louis II of Bavaria, sometimes referred to as Mad King Ludwig, who grew up nearby at Hohenschwangau Castle. It is located in one of the most beautiful areas in the world and is on the list to become one of the Wonders of the World. Thank you for stopping by to view this artistic endeavor. (needlepoint canvas is 18 1/2 " wide x 22 1/2 " high)

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
