Mid-way through felting...
...I cut "U-shaped" slits for the handle.
Fulling the felt.
The finished tote front...
...and back.
Some of the surface detail in close-up.
Because the tote looked a little unfinished to me...
...especially on this side...
...I hand-stitched the surface design sample from Part 1...
...to one naked section of the tote.
I also added hand embroidery and beads...
...to some of the other denuded areas.
Next time: a riot of embellishment...
...and the finished tote.

A riot of embellishment is right - what fun!
Rachel--Just wait...there's more!! :)
This bag is gorgeous, I love the riot of colours on the front, it's just so exciting to look at!
Thanks, Teri!
Oh wow.. that is one wild bag! Love that you have stitched the sample on and added embroidery n beads :)

Deborah-This is why there's no waste with felting...you can always stitch your samples on a place that looks bare!! :)
