"Purse-travaganza"! Part 9 of 9

The finished purse...


                                                                 ...drying.


                               Despite the aggressive nature of the 'hairy' base wool...

                                   ...not every textural piece felted completely in.

                                           (There are a couple of 'dangly' bits!) :)                 




                                     Close-ups of the bag surface with silk, lace....




                                                ...and cut-up bits of knitwear.


   
                                                            The bag interior.



                                             The back of the completed purse...



                                                            ...and the front...



                                                  ...and comparison photos...



                                          ...of the two (quite different) blue bags.
