Ok since I can't figure out how to get the pictures and text to go where I want this is my second purse made with a shetland merino blend. I've found out that most of the shetland felts just fine without the merino so I'm not doing that anymore. This purse has a silk nuno felt inlay with nuno felt pockets on the inside for phones and stuff.
Now on to the first picture!
In June our local alpaca breeders are having a big alpaca sale at Kay's place not far from our valley. I'll be setting up a booth to teach spinning on a wheel or a drop spindle and will be able to sell things I've been making with my wool. These are a few of the felt purses I've finished this winter.
This purse has shetland wool (Shay, one of my ewes) as the main wool, the dyed wool is BFL I dyed in roving. There is also yarn pieces and some prefelt merino felted in the design. The top edge is I-cord from yarn spun with the BFL and beads.

Very nice Mim! I love your felting, makes me want to learn how, but that loom in the other room is telling me its next :)
When I come down, if youd like, I will show you how to place your pictures...
What a great backdrop your log walls make to show off that wonderful felt work of yours~
I'm not really Ray, but he is the one with the blog! Your purses are beautiful. My favorite is the one on top. You are truly an artist! Vicki J
