tote bag

Finally.
This has been one of my projects which I started and didn't finish until a year later. I had the shell (read; felted bag, no lining) laying in my studio for the longest while. I'm glad I decided to make a lining. It gives the bag a cleaner and more polished look, while making it more secure. Felt had the lovely tendency to sag and stretch when put under the tension of weight. For some products, not a prob, for bags, it's a definite no-no.
And now, to the photos.

future combination

Felt + Ceramic = My new project.


I'm so in love with combining different materials. On my worktable I've got some cork coasters staring me in the face waiting to be combined with cut felt. That's one. Next to those guys are 4 very precious unglazed bud vases which were wheel-thrown during my ceramic classes last year. I want to get started on those next. I'm so excited about my design for them. I wish the day had more hours. Hopefully I can set aside some time this Friday to at least start on one.

p.s; the picture shown here is one of the newly glazed pieces I picked up from class this week. Blue-green glazes are my weakness. Also shown are felted hearts, a custom order for friend and Etsy buyer.

consider it embellished

Remember those plain boring bowls that were waiting to be decorated? Well, here's the blue one. Needlefelted and stitched just like I promised. They almost remind me of amoeba.



Currently in the shop.

case of the blues

Three pebbles in warm, wooly, blue sweaters. My desire for felting around items is becoming an addiction.
