Here is the first bag I made that I ended up giving to my mother for Christmas. I know it will see some good use.
These are the second and third bags. These became Christmas presents for my mothers in law. (My husband's parents are divorced and remarried so I have two.)
Here is the most recent bag.
I have made two or three other bags but ended up giving them away before I photographed them There is a theme her and if I am ever going to get a gallery show going, I am going to have to stop giving things away.
Currently I am working on a sweater using the same techniques as the bags. I'll post more on this one later.

Those bags are to die for. I feel my heart clutching as I write. I've done some felting and 've seen a lot of felting but these are just stellar.
By the way, I just finished listening to a book on tape called "The Opposite of Fate" by Amy Tan, author of "The Joy Luck Club". She contracted Lyme disease and she has a whole chapter devoted to her diagnosis and journey -- she still has problems. I found it to be an extrememly moving testimonial.
I went back and looked again, I guess they're not felted but, they're gorgeous.
Hi pj,
Thanks! I knit the bags with the sky, distant trees and water then felt the bags. Then I needle felt on details, shadows, etc. They are a lot of fun to make.
Thanks for the Amy Tan recomendation. I will look for the book.
I bought the tools for needle felting a while back and hope to do some soon. You do beautiful work.
these are great! you've got some talent there!
Thanks lgf! I love doing this kind of stuff. I was checking out your blog. I hope that you are feeling better. Sending healing vibes your way!
I have to say that I LOVE your bags. I want to try and recreate that look on my bowls and vessels. You do marvelous work lady!
