February 17th, 2009 · 11 Comments · Felt, Fibre Art

Glass pebbles and woolhandbag2Originally uploaded by Marian Florcita
And this is what I came up with after experimenting with those pebbles and the orange wool. I handfelted a bag in dark grey and added some pebbles randomly. Some are felted in the bag, and others were later attached to it. That is why there is a [...]
