Knitted, felted & needlefelted this medium tote replicates Van Gogh's famous painting 'Starry Night' (1889). A night sky filled with swirling clouds, stars ablaze in their own luminescence & a bright crescent moon each are exaggerated features in a scene we all can relate to as the sky keeps the viewer's eye moving about & following the stars. A small town lies below the rolling hills with a peaceful essence with a tall church steeple center point. A unique dichronic glass button coordinates for the top edge closure. Reflected in the eleven stars is Van Gogh's religious endeavor from Genesis 37:9..'behold, the sun, moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me...' I stood near this painting twice in my life & it touches me deeply. This was a pleasure to attempt to recreate in yarn. 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
