sunny bag

When I had this friend over who felted the red bag

I didn't do much else than a bit of knitting

(and making coffee, tea and lunch)

I don't have enough space

for "more than one bag at the time"

That's okay, but I always start felting myself

right after such a day.

I planned this new bag

to fit especially to a jacket that I made for myself

out of silk / linen five years ago

(remember for wich occasion  ;-)  !)

I will make a picture of it later, with the bag ...

Sunny colours : golden yellow, pink and a bit magenta

The Ginkgo leaves are no coincidence !

I used the same template as the one for my orange bag

(last year) and the friend's red bag

There's the Ginkgo (a bit of pre-felt) 

and I used some netting in order to prevent that the design might shift

It really took a long time and repeated corrections

before the spirals stayed in place.

(the spiral is a bit more pink than here on the photo)

Now I must wait till it's completely dry so I can fix the strap

and a little magnet as a closure.

Happy
