Laying out bits of silk plus a rectangle of pre-felt on side one...
...and covering them with wool roving.
Making a large pre-felt 'frame' from several smaller pieces.

Today's bag was a Christmas gift for a very special friend...
...and it was constructed much like this earlier project.
Using leftover silk scraps, given to me by my friend, Lorin Fields...
..I laid out a design on the plastic resist.
I also added a 'footer' (the rectangular piece of pre-felt) to side one...
...and a pre-felt 'frame' to side two...
...followed by more roving on each side.
Next time: an interior pocket is added...
...and the felting begins!

Już zapowiada się bardzo ciekawie. Maja, moja córka lubi właśnie takie kolory.
I always find myself bewildered when I look at the resist, trying to work out what you have in mind - this one has me truly intrigued!
That's going to be cool!
Karolina--My daughters like bright colors, too, like your Maja!
Rachel--Hahaha...I live to intrigue!
Katie--Thank-you!
Thank you, Heather for the winning bracelets. I am a lucky person.
I am anxious to see what the purse is going to look like next time. In any case, the colours are nice and bright.

Deborah--Oh, I hope you'll like the finished bag!:)
I was watching carefully as you laid it all out and thinking some of those colors are familiar....and to my surprise, they really were mine! so glad you used them in such a successful piece. I will plan to save you more, as I've several scarves to construct in next few weeks...

Lorin-Thanks so much! Your vibrantly dyed scraps are like gold to me! :)
I will make a special effort my dear to save them for you rather than just tossing them when I'm trimming edges...seeing your mastery in the composition gives them a longer lifespan.

Lorin--Thanks! I love your zesty colors!! XO-
