So today is the first day I have been in my studio for 2 weeks. I was away with my mom who is recovering from surgery and a side trip to Montreal to visti my daughter and son in law.
Today I needed to clean my studio so tomorrow I can make some bags!! Even washed the floor!!
I did knit today a fun satchel bag for a friend, it is in autumn colours and I will post pictures when it is done. I have a cool autumn mix mohair for the flap it will look great.
I also went today to the new Knotty by Nature store in Fairfield to organize a silk fusion class. I teach fusion there every couple of months and love it. The new store is great. The class is on March 4th.
I was at my art group last night a great group of woman who are fiber artist.Our group has been working on quilted pieces using many techniques, it is inspiring and I will spend some time on my pieces this weekend. They have a french theme to reflect my trip to France last year. I love that fiber can be a medium for memories as well as fashion.
Well more tomorrow, with pics of what I am working on.
Cheers from fiber frolics
So here is the bag in progress i was trying to figure out the best way to add an embellishment and here is the finished product I am quite pleased with it; It is a lovely bag with a silk lining and a pocket. The price is $45. the flap is made from hand painted cotton canvas. The embellishment on the front is a pin made by crocheting wire and adding beads. I love to do these pieces as the wire comes in many colours and the possiblities are endless
