Santa Fe Sunset

Santa Fe Sunset

Posted by Knottylady Designs Showstoppers on 8/27/2006
This dramatic tote was knitted/felted with gorgeous wools together with ribbon novelty yarn. In my mind I can see the mountain sunsets of New Mexico reflected in this felted tote. The interior continues the theme with two lovely knitted/felted pockets and a twice reinforced sunset fabric covered foamcore/web base for added strength,durability and beauty. Knitted I CORD handles continue the beauty of a SANTA FE SUNSET and shell fashion buttons in copper give this bag a sunset glow.

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
