After turning the project right-side out...
...felting continues with a bit more rubbing and rolling.
The purse is placed in various orientations during felting...
...for even shrinkage.
As with my earlier nuno pre-felt bag...
...the wild colors and patterns of the silk pieces...
...become quite muted and subtle after felting.
The finished project, drying...
...awaiting a leather strap...
...and festive zipper.
Next time: the completed bag...
...along with its earlier (and slightly beefier) 'cousin'.

If ever I saw a "goes with everything" bag, it's this one!
You're very creative and the textures are so beautiful. Looking forward to seeing the completed bag.
Rachel--It's Joseph's amazing technicolor dreampurse! :)
Terriea--Thanks! I have been using this bag for some months, now, and I still really like it.
