Simply Charming

Posted by Knottylady Designs Showstoppers on 7/29/2007
A special order for several black bags inspired this beaded amulet bag. Knitted & crocheted; this amulet bag has a drawstring top edge & also an over-the-shoulder strap which can be made longer or shorter by knotting the cord. I hand stitched three appliques with seed beads, bugle beads & gemstones & then stitched the appliques to the front of this bag. They can be easily removed so other charms, pins or whatever you like can be added to embellish. This bag is lined & has one interior pocket. Enjoy Simply Charming. 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
