Vines & Berries (wine sack & wine caddy)

Posted by Knottylady Designs Showstoppers on 10/16/2007

Knitted, felted & needlefelted in gorgeous shades of greens, pinks, etc. I enjoy the endless, unique possibilities with felting & took a huge step to knit & felt the vines and berries which look totally awesome & 3-dimentional needlefelted onto the front of this wine sack & matching wine caddy (for tabletop display) which is a wonderful way to present a bottle of wine, champagne or any beverage in a bottle for a host, hostess or a housewarming gift. I used gorgeous alpaca for the base of both wine sack & caddy and then wooly stripes up to the ICORD top embellished with an ICORD tie which has beautiful swarovski cyrstal beads at the tips in shades of pinks & greens. Enjoy Vines & Berries wine sack & wine caddy! It's the berries!

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
