THE WONDERFUL FELTED PURSE

My new passion is the felted purse, not for me to make because I believe they are beyond my abilities, but to look at, enjoy, and some day to purchase.  They are so beautiful and the artists who create them have such talent and imagination.  In my many random searches I have found that there is also a wide variety of designs.  To create the felted purse is not an easy, quick little hobby.  It takes extreme patience,  perseverance, dedication, hours of work, and a focus on the end result.

Here are some of the very talented artists who are creating these little masterpieces of  useful art:

Felted Items on Etsy

While searching around Etsy one evening, I found this:

Second item was the cutest pig ever.  I knew what I had to do!  I made a treasury of felted items (I would have had way too many links and photos in this post!).  You can click on the title of the treasury to be taken to the treasury or click on each item to be taken directly to their shops.

Stop by and visit all the talented people! I really wish I could do this and I envy those who can!

These are bowls I purchased from Valerie's Gallery filled with dryer felted orbs!
