A lovely knitted/felted medium size roomy bag depicts various animals/landscapes out of Africa with several novelty yarns knitted together with the lovely brown wool. A love of Africa inspired this bag. Memories of Africa ; its beautiful animals & landscapes are knitted/felted into this bag. Top interior edge embellished with animal print grosgrain ribbon & two interior pockets continue the theme. The interior base is beautiful animal print fabric covered foamcore for durability & strength. Orange print wooden beads (felted in) surround the lower part of the top edge & one wooden African pendant embellishes the mid front. An I Cord handle pulls through for one long handle or two shorter ones (over the shoulder). Thanks for joining my safari. (no animals were injured/maimed in designing/creating this bag-all fur like novelty yarns)

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
