The finished purse with small leather flap.
During felting, the rayon fabric virtually melted...
...into the wool roving and pre-felt bits.
The area of the bag under the flap...
...shows off the print of the original fabric best.
A shot of the purse interior with pocket.
All four of the finished purses...
...were made as 'flat felt' with sewn-on leather...
...yet each has its own unique style!

They are very different, aren't they! Just goes to show how varied are the results obtainable from one basic technique!
Heather - those bags are just fabulous. I love the leather sides and straps. You truly are making magic.

So fabulous. I have not done any felting in ages and your projects are always so inspiring. I have been doing too much reading recently, i really should do some creating.
And every one of them a winner!!
I love this beauty and think of you every time I use it!

All 4 bags are lovely, and as you say each has its' own individual character. Love the felt & leather combo xx
Wow - they all look great! What do you plan to do with them? Will they be for sale? My favourite is the last one, especially the orangey-red side with he blue "olives".
lovely collection Heather, well done
Thanks for all of your kind words, ladies!!
Deborah--I'm so happy that you're enjoying the purse!
Teri--I made them all as gifts. :)
