Taking Root

My 'Trees in a Chair Forest' purse is done! (created the flap a few years ago) The purse flap was a bit short so, I added much needed roots. A wooly purse is perfect this time of year.

Have a fabulous Friday :)

Trees in a Chair Forest

Trees in a Chair Forest, originally uploaded by Tea and Ink.

I made this on my beloved Pfaff felting machine a few years ago. It turned out to be a purse flap for a wool purse (which I now can not find and have never used :( I'm sure it's in a fabric stash somewhere). I should make some new felt stuff... it's been a long time.
Happy Friday!

Tag, I'm It

Here's a needle felted purse I'll be adding to my etsy shop soon. I added a few new things over there today... including 2 ink drawings on paper with gouache. They're kind of my 'babies...' but we'll see if they sell!
