Broadway Melody , a large tote/overnight/carryon recreates the aesthetic manner of the Broadway theatre district of New York City. Reds and blacks feature the Broadway theatre scene beginning with the base of the bag in black and at the lower base in white and black are piano keys running across the lower bottom and three inches down from the top (another set of piano keys). The front edges of this tote depict a theatre marquis and then the body of the bag is Broadway streets and lights with wool yarns felted together with hundreds of sequins knitted along with the wool and felted together to create the illusion of Broadway in the evening lights of New York City streets and as the bag's theme continues into the top we see the pinks and purples of the Broadway lights reflected in the evening sky. Two lovely vintage buttons are crossed over with gold and black I CORD twists. A vinatge pin with three dancers adorns the right top of this bag and they seem to be beckoning to yo

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
