"Pollockian Pre-Felt" Purse- Part 4

The bag is turned inside-out for further felting...


                                              ...and a little judicious stitching...

                         ...closes up the open areas on the (fiddly) flanged bottom.



                                                 The fully felted bag (side one)...



                                                            ...and side two.



                                                          Blocking the bag...



                                                                ...for drying.



                           A strap and button flap are cut from a sheet of blue leather...



                                                 ...and are stitched into place.



                                       Some close-ups of the bag's blobby texture.






                                                   The finished purse (alone)...


      
                                                    ...and with two earlier...



                                                           ...blue bags!! ;)

So, are you going through a Blue Period, like Picasso's?
