English Tea Garden Party

English Tea Garden Party

Posted by Knottylady Designs Showstoppers on 9/2/2007
Lovely organic wool & soy yarns were used to create this lovely Garden Party knitted & felted bag. I knit & felted three flowers in the shades of the bag & combined them into one flower to embellish the front. The fringe is cut & added to the top edge ICORD bindoff before the felting process. This bag is very roomy & has one long ICORD handle which pulls through for two handles or for one. A lovely fashion button embellishes the flower pin (shades of purple & pink). Enjoy English Tea Garden Party reminding me of high tea in London, England. (pretty with or without the flower pin & the fringe is funky, felted & fun!)

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
