Gorgeous fuschia wool held together with a teal novelty yarn knitted & fulled (felted) into this fabulous era of flappers & the Charleston (1920's) calling it' The Great Gatsby' (bag). Two gorgeous ruffles, a felted teal flower embellished with feathery yarn & a ribbon trim in silver with blues & pinks throughout the ribbon is crocheted under the ruffles to give the top a very ruffled & adorned edge & is reminiscent of the headbands worn by flappers in the 1920's era. Two plastic silver handles add to the theme of the era of 'The Great Gatsby'! 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
