Felted Bags Workshop

I recently completed the final bag from the felted bags workshop that I took online with Terry Berry. This workshop was comprised of 3 different wet felted bags: a glasses case, a purse and a backpack. I opted for an animal theme for all three bags. To respect the workshop, I will not post any in progress pictures - if you would like to learn how to create the bags, you should take the workshop. Terry makes it very easy to follow along. Glasses Case The first bag that I created was a glasses case. I chose to create a flat faced cat. As is my typical process, I lightly needle felted some details (like the eyes) ahead of wet felting and then needle felted in additional details once the wet felting was done but before I had completely fulled the bag.

A small carabiner was added to the ear so he could be added to another purse or backpack. I also added a small sparkly bow as the button closure. Purse The second bag that I created was a purse. For this one, I created an owl inside of a tree. The purse straps are branches and the owl is inside a cutaway edge. My daughter claimed this one the second I sent her a photo so it did not make it into my Etsy store :) It hadn't even started drying yet!

The purse uses a long wood button as the closure which doubles as the beak. Backpack The final project in the felted bag workshop was a backpack. I wanted an animal with a strong brow for the snap closure and a long face that ran the length of the bag, so I made a dragon. This one is reinforced with black cotton muslin fabric and has felted straps. Because it is a backpack, I reinforced many of the felted items with embroidery for strength. I bet this would make a great gift for the DnD players out there. It is the perfect size for a laptop.

The glasses case and dragon backpack are on my etsy site. As a thank you for all my loyal followers, I have created a special promo code that is available for you to use on any items through Dec 11. code: KNOTHEAD20 Read the full article

I'm kinda a go big or go home kinda gal.... Thinking my current project is evidence of that 🤣 I've got a market/beach bag in mind but we'll see how it turns out and adjust as needed. If you've not tried wet felting and are looking for a creative outlet I highly suggest giving it a try! I love the fact its a creative activity that's not sedentary, you can pause and pick back up later on easily and it can be used to create beautiful things including things that are very functional!

Nuno Felting is so much fun and I love these colors! I love the mossy look of these greens and love making the little berries! <3 I made these in another Nuno Felting class I took that was taught by @beverlyashgilbert at the @kirklandartscenter last weekend. I look forward to one day having dedicated craft room/space with appropriate flooring where I can do Nuno Felting at home. I have so many ideas I want to create someday. . . . . . #FiberArts #Fiberartist #Fiberlove #NunoFelt #WetFelting #NunoFelting #Felting #FeltedBag #Handmade #Crafting #Art #KirklandArtsCenter #Nature #Mossy #Leafy #Outbackfibers #Dreadlocks #Fiber #Crafting #Handmade #fiberartistsofinstagram

Today, Mom's safety buddy noticed that my purse matched the sweater of one of Mom's friends. Sharp catch! Purse is my pattern #ZigBagz size "Biggie." My first one lasted over 10 years with a little darning on the corners.

As a long time painter in oils and pastels, I am enjoying the challenges of "painting " with wool. Felting appeals to the painter in me :-) #thesilkthread #felting #daisies #handcrafted #feltedbag #naturespalette (at The Silk Thread) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvsGVdghZl2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dqbr6f2ifqtg
