Reminiscent of "a sea nymph" from Homer's "Odyessy" and the sea nympth CALYPSO. This turquoise "odyessy" depicts an oceanic theme with turquoise, purple, blues and black wools and novelty yarns complimented with a purple I Cord flap holder highlighted with two vintage buttons. The nubbiness of the flap denotes oceananic barnacles created by combining gorgeous wool with a novelty yarn felted together. Two I CORD handles knitted/felted with turquoise & purple wool and tied rosettes hold the handles in place in the front and back of this lovely bag. An interior pocket continues the oceanic theme and a reinforced base covered in lovely oceanic theme fabric completes this piece. One of a kind! A Showstopper!

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
