Aphrodite

Posted by Knottylady Designs Showstoppers on 11/29/2006
Knitted/felted with beautiful denim look yarn held together with a fun Fling yarn in shades of blues & whites that creates the look of sea life. A lovely flap with three button holes & three beautiful silver buttons add to the look of denim & silver-a lovely combination. I chose these buttons which remind me of dubloons (treasure from the sea). This bag is very roomy, fun & functional. Aphrodite , a Grecian goddess of the sea is associated with all the creatures of the sea. She represents the sea which is life giving & is the goddess of love & beauty. A truly fun bag with one interior pocket. 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
