Ahh studio time it has been awhile

So Mexican vacation over with and a very full week back at work and I have some time to be creative. I did finish 3 bags in the last week all knit and felted, 2 of them in Mexico. I will post some pictures later. I also tried out a new fusion bag pattern and took the bag out to the symphony with me. Love the long strap so I could put it across my chest. Makes having that drink at intermission so easy!! Pictures of that to follow too.
Several of my bags are for sale at Glitz Gallery in Winnipeg so if you in the area go by and check it out.
I was to teach a silk fusion class tomorrow but only 1 person signed up so it was cancelled. Ah well I will have time to line those 3 new bags!!!!
Monday I had a delightful 2 hours with the daughter of one of my colleagues from work. She is 13 and is doing an art project to interview and artist and then to produce a piece in the artists medium. It was fun and she was happy with what she took home.
Maybe \i need to do some teaching at my own home. Maybe kids might be interested in this process. I will need to think on that .
Well time to upload some pictures. Let me know what you think.
Mmm eyes closed but isn't the bag cute!!!!!!

So this is a fuzzy cuddly bag like a caterpillar it has bit of blue and yellow it still needs lining a some buttons but stay tuned it will be so fun when done It will sell for $60

So these are mid sze satchel bags again still need lining  and some buttons and magnet closures i am going to add crystalls to the pink and orange one. The sell for $40

This hot pink baby is great for evening or for a little girl who loves a bag!!

The 4 some mmm colour is very in this spring.

They arrived take 2

So the bags have arrived at the Glitz Gallery in Winnipeg. It is located on Academy road in River Heights. A great shop so if you live near stop in and check it out.
The first time i tried to post this was from my I phone and I couldn'do the body so here it is. I will be out of the studio for a week on vacation but when I come back there will be some cute new bags I have done a couple of new ones small but so cute. I will be knitting on my vacation so there really will be some new bags.

Ah and I have the bags ready to ship!!!

Well at least they are completed still have to tag them with content etc. They are headed to Winnipeg to Glitz Gallery on Academy Road. This is my 1st foray into having my bags in a shop. I'm excited + a bit nervous. Will see what happens.



So I have finished 3 felted satchel/messenger bags. It is interesting to me that the purple bag and the orange bag had the same number of stitches but the purple bag has an added boucle fiber for interest. and it felted much bigger than the orange one.


Then there is the little blue on already has an owner but it is so cute!!!!!!
Then I finished 2 smaller fusion bags one is with veleveteen and the other with faux suede. they are both lined with silk lining. The little pins attached are sculpted fusion.
Now I am going to look at making some bowls from fusion, I have done this before and they are really cool. Stay tuned for more fiber fun.
