I started making bags in the fall of 2010 as a way to balance my life. My day job is as a registered nurse and while I love nursing, the creative process of working with these bags and other art balances the work of nursing. I use 100% wool, and silk as well as what I like to call "funny fibers" like polyester and nylon, which create interesting textures. Most of my bags are lined with silk or polyester to create a great finish and allow for pockets.
So here is a piece of fusion with machine and hand embroidered stitches. The one below is the fusion before stitching! The bag at the bottom used the stitched piece for the flap!!
