Felting purses

Ellen and I made felted purses yesterday. Mine is on the left and hers is on the right. We experimented using a resist inside the bags to create small pockets for keys or a phone. I am really happy to say that we both succeeded. It is one thing to understand the theory, but application does not always follow. It was a relief to see that it was not as hard as I thought it might be. Now I have five bags that need straps and additional embellishment to finish them up. Since my mind is running around with ideas for my loom and the current shawl is going to come off tonight, they are on the back burner. I have decided that they template I created for these backs has turned out to be the best size of any that I have used to date.
