Solresol (accessory bag)

Solresol (accessory bag)

(KnottyladyDesigns...)
A portion of the felted sweater became a Solresol accessory bag for the larger bag. The button on this accessory matches the buttons on the front & back of the larger Solresol bag. The beautiful Solresol language consists of seven syllables-the notes of the scale (do-re-mi-fa-so-l... (we changed it to 'ti'). Sudre also devised a means for translating ROYGBIV, the colors of the rainbow, with Solresol syllables so that every tapestry, painting, splash of color takes on literal meaning. Mila la sidomido lasi Solresol! Enjoy! Great IPOD holder! My son gave me this IPOD and I am certainly enjoying it! Wow-it's RED(monies go to fight AIDS in Africa)!
Vase with Flowers (still life felted bag)

Vase with Flowers (still life felted bag)

(KnottyladyDesigns...)
Inspired by the impressionist painters a 40" over-the shoulder strap & a 6x8 " felted bag became my 'canvas' for a Van Gogh sunflower still life. Van Gogh began painting a series of sunflower oils in 1888. Sunflowers were his flower of choice. He wanted to decorate his studio with sunflowers. A series of Van Gogh paintings in 1888 is identified only as 'Sunflowers'. This knitted/felted/em... bag is lovely & fun. A wet felted ball is attached to the zippered closure & the fashion fabric lining coordinates with the colors in the stilllife. Enjoy my attempt at a Van Gogh still life-'Sunflowers'. Thanks for stopping by.
English Tea Garden Party

English Tea Garden Party

(KnottyladyDesigns...)
Lovely organic wool & soy yarns were used to create this lovely Garden Party knitted & felted bag. I knit & felted three flowers in the shades of the bag & combined them into one flower to embellish the front. The fringe is cut & added to the top edge ICORD bindoff before the felting process. This bag is very roomy & has one long ICORD handle which pulls through for two handles or for one. A lovely fashion button embellishes the flower pin (shades of purple & pink). Enjoy English Tea Garden Party reminding me of high tea in London, England. (pretty with or without the flower pin & the fringe is funky, felted & fun!)

September Song

September Song

"September Song" is a carpet bag knitted,felted & needle felted to remind us that September brings such superb color effects on a palette of forest greens to golds and reds.

Knitted/felted in a beautiful carpet bag shape with gorgeous knitted/felted handles that tie into lovely rosettes at each corner of this bag. The twisted I Cord on the sides is knitted and felted along with the bag and adds to the spectacular and fun design and the signs of Autumn. A lovely autumn scene of leaves and vines is knitted and felted separately and then the leaves are needle felted with roving for color variations after the felting process. The top edge closes with a gold magnetic clasp and the interior presents itself with a lovely pocket continuing the autumnal theme. "September Song" was a musical number from the 1938 Broadway theatre play called Knickerbocker Holiday.
