Clusters of beads...
...and embroidery stitches...
...define and anchor the felted-in embellishments.
Mexican 'offering charms' (Milagros)...
...and small metal leaves...
...glass and metallic beads...
...and faceted 'gemstones' also found their way onto this bag.
Once I got started, I just couldn't stop...
...(perhaps, sometimes, more really is more?!?) Grin.
The finished tote back...
...and front.
Next time: a new pair of slippers!

it looked great before you embellished it but even more special after. I love the green and blue beads on the pinky/red felt.
I love the clusters of glass beads on the coloured spots by the selvedge.. reminds me of something magnified under a microscope (not sure what though, not being very scientifically minded lol)
Love it!

Sometimes, layer after layer of detail is what actually brings a piece to life. Minimalism has had a good innings - time for ornamentation to come back!
FGF- thanks so much! I like that section, too. :)
Deborah-It doesn't surprise me that this piece looks faintly 'microbial'...lots of my work looks like something from a Biology class!! :)
Rachel-Hahaha...Amen, sister!! :)
