Desert Wildflowers Bag

(Knit Textile Art)

Desert Wildflowers Bag Living in San Diego, we witnessed the beauty of the Anza-Borrego Desert in bloom with its colorful carpet of spring flowers. Stunningly magnificent; desert wildflowers & gorgeous insects drifiting from flower to flower is nature's palette. In knitting/felting/embroidering this bag I attempted to capture the essence of the desert in bloom. My felted bags are not mass produced & due to the nature of the fibres & material used, each is a unique creation/design. An adjustable ICORD handle may be used double or pulled through to tie at the side (adjustable tie) for a lovely over-the shoulder look. The interior is exquisitely detailed with magnetic snap, reinforced , (hand tie-dyed) fabric covered base , two interior pockets & top edged interior trim. A fashionable, fun bag. A deep purple base of a desert evening gives way to the desert dawn's natural wildflower splendor and a lovely dragonfly fashion pendant embellishes the novelty yarn embroidered flap. Enjoy!

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
