Harvest Splendor

« Knottylady Designs Showstoppers's Gallery

(Knit Textile Art)

Knitted/felted triangular bowl with warm autumnal tones & organic CORN yarn (cornucopia) added for a true harvest theme. Large enough for a bag of cinnamon pinecones, potpourri, popcorn or any family treat. A lovely addition to one's fall table setting/Thanksgiving. A fun triangular shape densely felted. After total drying I needelfelted the entire exterior of the bowl with ROVING in autumnal colors. While walking I found a beautiful Maple Leaf and I made a template from the leaf and needlefelted a Maple leaf to the bottom of this lovely harvest bowl. This would be a lovely place for a side dish , rolls/breads, salad for Thanksgiving or any table setting or a lovely harvest bouquet. Endless useful possibilities. The bottom of this sculpted bowl felted like velvet. Very lovely yarn & the needlefelted Maple leaf adds to the harvest theme. Thanks for stopping by.

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
