DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES captures the essence of a romantic picnic or a couple in love seeking those carefree, intimate moments together of the DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES (and YOU). Lest one forget that the DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES never need to end and this tote was designed and created with that in mind. The tiny and beautiful purple silk roses which delicately surround the top edge of this piece continue to remind a special someone that there were those magic moments and that the flowers may fade and die but that magical time of being in love will be remembered. The purples, pinks and fabulous contrasting colors only compliment the total essence of this piece. Knittted and felted with many gorgeous wool and novelty yarns and the interior is a lovely as the exterior and the theme continues in the interior pockets and the reinforced bottom with its lovely fabric covered needlepoint foamcore. Love is in the air with DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES. The phrase "days of wine and roses" is originally from

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
