I must admit I'm a bit of a duffer when it comes to social media.. but I do like Pinterest! It's a bit addictive I think. ANyway.. I just wanted to share this bag I made recently. Inspired by this beautiful ancient Egyptian blue faience bowl that I spotted on Pinterest. This is my felted bag version of it :)
 |
| I used on of Sharry's gorgeous handmade ceramic buttons :) |
 |
| I stretched silk caps over the resist so the show on the inside. There are 2 integral internal pockets, one on each side. |
 |
| With a tiny flap and handle loops |
 |
| Drawing the dancer from thin strips of merino fibre |
 |
| and the on the front a musician with lotus and papyrus border. |
 |
| Part way through felting, just after removing the resist. |
 |
| Some smaller details were lost during felting, but I think that works too.. gives it a slightly aged effect. |
 |
| I love the dancer :) did think about adding a few beads but I think I'm going to leave it be. |
