The fully felted piece...
...shaped for drying.

The front of the bag with opening...
...and the back of the bag with pleats.
The silk 'felted-into' the wool in a lovely, nubby fashion...
...and the dyed silk colors remained bright and strong...
...despite all of the warm water, soap and 'enthusiastic' agitation!
Trimming a piece of green leather for a closure...
...and punching holes into it for a button attachment.

With this project...
...I tried something a little new with the shaping...
...and because my friend uses a small backpack more often than she does a purse...
...I created an asymmetrical opening for a different kind of closure.
Next time: the finished bag...
...with green leather straps.

Kolorystyka fantastyczna. Najbardziej spodobała się mojemu mężowi. On lubi takie kolorowe abstrakcje. Im bardziej kolorowo tym bardziej zadowolony.
