EBBTIDE'S A LINE DESIGN lends to the total theme of of an ocean beach. The bottom of the bag is the ocean (blue color), the body of the bag is the sandy beach with gorgeous handpainted wools combined with a copper novelty thread , Three large ruffles form the waves washing up onto the sandy shore and the flap continues the ocean theme with a ruffled edge and JOY yarn (shades of rust,copper) held together with the handpainted wool to create ocean seaweed with tiny seashell buttons intertwined in the seaweed and three seagulls stitched to the top edge of the flap as they fly over the ocean. Four I CORD handles compliment the ocean theme and the large seashell pendant is sewn to the front of the flap for added oceananic beauty. The interior continues the ocean theme with lovely knitted/felted pockets & a twice reinforced interior fabric covered base for strength, durability and beauty.

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
