Happy New Year!!

I did not make any resolutions for the new year.. well maybe one .. to live each day as it comes!! 

This first week of the year I enjoyed my wet felting class and learning new techniques.  I learned felting in layers, using silk for the inside to make it more solid, and adding resist. I did choose to make a  small bag, using the resist for inside bag and for adding an extra pocket. After finishing the felting part I added lots of details, the result showing in the next pictures. The shape is a long triangle, folded in the middle. The pointy part holds enough space for a mobile phone, the other side for purse, keys..   The extra pocket on the back side (lined with cotton) for credit card..or whatever you like to carrie with you.

 Extra pocket closes with zipper.

On the inside I embroidered the words  "I love Teddy Bears" 

Inside another zipper.

For the corner I made a bear head and arms with the purpose to close the bag.

 

To close push the felted ball..

Through the bear`s arms. 

SOLD
Would you be interested to purchase this bag, please contact me private at mail@threadteds.com. I can sent the bag not before 17 January though, as that is my next class, and rule is to bring and show the finished creations.

I enjoyed combine this wet felting project with my bears very much !!  Hope you like the combination too.
