Oh, the joys of felting... There is something so therapeutic about creating a felted bag. To be truthful, it is a bit of a complicated process.
I begin by selecting wools in complimenting colors. Using my own designs, I knit the purse from bottom to top. Next comes the felting process: washing the purse in hot water in my washing machine. After the wash cycle is complete, I place the purse on boxes, stretching the wool and pinning it in place to block it. After the purse is dry, I remove it from the box and begin another creative process: selecting the lining. All linings are padded to add substance and strength. I add pockets to the inside as well as magnetic closures. Next, I select a handle to complement the wool and the lining; often the handles are made of leather. At this point, some of the purses are embellished. The final touch is to add my signature touch...I sew a tiny metal purse into the inside of every one of my purses.
It's quite a production! And I love every minute! Each purse is totally unique. All of my accessories are one-of-a-kind!
