"SOMEDAY I'LL WISH UPON A STAR" but until then I knitted and felted this lovely tote with the rainbow at the top left edge of the front and the Emerald City in the right top edge both surrounded by clouds and a knitted/felted storm at the very top edge. Two lovely fashion pins highlight the Emerald City: Ruby Slippers with Glynda's (the good witch's) wand. Dorothy taps the ruby slippers and goes home because she know's "there's no place like home & a Toto fashion pin both by the Emerald City and the yellow brick road. From the base upwards one can revisit the LAND OF OZ with the colorful flowers and the yellow brick road under the EMERALD CITY and the rainbow. Knitted/felted with lovely wool yarns combined with several novelty yarns. The theme continues in the interior knitted pockets and the beautiful fabric covered foamcore interior bottom has strength, durabilty and beauty. This is a medium sized tote and one cannot help but smile and think about stepping onto the "yellow br

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
