Felted Purse

This is a little pocket purse I made years ago.  I felted objects between the layers of wool—a bottle-cap and piece of stainless mesh.  It was pretty plain, so I added some red stitching around the edge…..

some dangling jewelry elements….

a ribbon and button tie closure…..

And donated it to the Women's Clubhouse fundraiser here in town.

The thing I learned is that we really do get better with age.  Surfaces become richer and the tiny details become more important.
