Blue Danube

(Knit Textile Art)

A lovely eyeglass case knitted/felted with organic wool/soy yarn in lovely shades of blues & then needlefelted with gorgeous mohair yarns. A lovely triangular flap comes over the top to catch a silver heart-shaped fashion button. The flap is also needlefelted & beaded around the edges with sparkling seed beads in two shades of blue. An ICORD knitted/felted strap allows it to be worn over-the -head with your glasses always nearby & for length of strap; an ICORD stretches with time so begin with a shorter strap. It can also be dampened and pulled into a longer length. It is stunning in person & the photos do not do it justice. This case was a special order. Enjoy the Blue Danube. These eyeglass cases can be made-to-order in any color or needlefelting/special buttons or charms. Contact me through wearableartdesigns@yahoo.com. Thank you!

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
