A lovely evening (afternoon tea/wedding) bag designed/created from wool felt cut into shape & machine stitched into a small bag. I hand embellished this small evening bag with needlefelting, pink floral beads, fashion pins/buttons/ & tiny pearls handstiched onto the front of the flap as tiny roses adorn the very edge of the flap & a twisted loop for fashion button closure. Using a lucite handle I cut two pieces of wool felt & made loops to hold the handle. This bag is very Victorian and appropriately named for a flower called the Primrose which is one of the earliest spring flowers in Europe. Also named after the song by Jerry Wallace called: Primrose Lane." "life's a holiday on Primrose Lane" 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
