Covering the resist with fiber.
Adding deep red roving for the inner layer, plus a layer of cotton gauze for strength.
The back of the finished purse...
...and the front.
Vintage buttons change a rather dull purse into something special!
I barely had time to finish felting this bag...
...before my middle daughter whisked it off for herself.
Since it wasn't the most exciting bag I had ever made...
...she jazzed it up with a bunch of vintage buttons from my stash!
You can see that she didn't even wait for a sunny day to photograph it properly...
...but into her suitcase it went, and off to Minneapolis! :)

oooooh love the purse, but without the buttons, am allergic for buttons, only when i can use them i'm not allergic, but buttons for fun, how beautiful they may be, brrrrrrrrrrr!
oooh, I LOVE that bag all jazzed up with buttons. I have a gorgeous button from Jone that I need to have her drill to add my bag I created at Fiber Festival. I'm so glad I got to meet her via you. Anyways, very curious about the mystery resist.
Well, isn't it wonderful to have your work so well appreciated!
I love it that you daughter loves your felt, how cool, not all kids are like this. The bag has beautiful shape.
A fantastic bag. The colors are great and the accent with buttons is very funny and beauty. Best regards Senna
Deborah--Thanks!
Peebee--Nope, not a boat! :)
Riet--You like only functional buttons...did I get that right?
Andrea--Jone's fused glass buttons are so much fun, aren't they?!?!
