post-felting!

So, before starting on the bag, I hand-felted the little swatch, shown here so you can see the contrast in texture.
Hand-felting was really fun, but I wouldn't want to do an item much bigger than this bag! I may do the slippers I have planned by hand though. It was also rough on the knuckles - next time I'm definitely going to want rubber gloves. It looks really cool, it's just the right size to go over the shoulder and tuck under the arm, just right to hold the cell phone, keys, and wallet. I think it's going to need a zipper or some kind of close though.
