Wet Felted Purses
I love wool, felt and felting!
Here are some of my new creations.
Peacock Handbag
A beautiful peacock blue, merino wool hand felted bag. Luxury!
Its vivid turquoise and blue colouring evokes water in motion.
This handbag is wet felted in one piece. It has embellishments of bamboo, curly locks and soy silk felted into its surface, giving it lovely sheen and texture and has a wool felted ball button closure.
Ribbons, tiny felt balls and beads adorn one side, making it completely reversible.
Each of these felted creations are lovingly crafted using an ancient technique and luxurious natural fibers.
Wet felting is a process where wool roving is meshed together into a strong fabric, using hot water, soap and lots of elbow grease.
This bag is made in one piece, working two sides, one after the other. Each side contains eight layers of wool roving, making a strong fabric. The top layer is felted with other fibers, such as bamboo for shine, curly locks for springy texture, and soy silk for a delicate shimmer giving depth to the surface.
The layers are massaged and rubbed together over a period of hours until they are inseparable.
I have added found treasures and upcycled materials for handles, straps and decorations, whenever possible.
Charcoal and Purple flames Handbag
Rich deep purple and violet flames, paired with elegant charcoal. The luxurious softness of merino wool!

Flamingo Berry Clutch
Juicy colours! Flamingo, berry, violet, lilac, palest pink and fresh green, what a blend. The luxurious softness of merino wool! This dainty handbag clutch is wet felted in one piece. It is just right for carrying those barest of essentials. It has a felt ball button closure and a whimsical vine climbing on the other side. The large wooden handle bracelet bangle conveniently makes this purse work as a wristlet.

Purple and Red Lollipop Flowers
A sweeping purple to red spectrum. This lovely purse is wet-felted of softly luxurious merino wool. It is lined with deep coral silk, left raw edged and then fully quilted. The edge is stitched in contrasting thread in a free-flowing vine pattern. It has a felt ball button closure and a strap whimsically braided in bohemian style of red and purple ribbons.

This felt is made of six layers of wool roving, making a strong fabric.
The layers are massaged and rubbed together over a period of hours until they are inseparable.
The design has been first needle-felted (a process whereby the wool is pierced with barbed needles to felt small design elements onto a base fabric) and then wet-felted into place, giving dimension and texture.
A silk lining was quilted into place.

Spring Pixie Elf Sweater
Firebird Elf Sweater
Twilight Elf Coat
Red Riding Hood Jacket
I love upcycling woolen knits into new and glorious creations. Each one is unique.
They are environmentally friendly, reusing our precious resources.
These sweater-coats are made from woolen sweaters, hot-washed and dried, felting them for durability, before creation.
These coats are truly all-season delights. They can be worn on cool summer evenings, in spring and autumn weather, and are extra cozy indoors in winter.
The long hoods can be wrapped around as scarves, for added warmth.
The belt makes them flatteringly adjustable for most sizes small to extra-large.
This coat is made of 100% wool and should be hand washed in cold water and laid flat to dry.
Patchwork Purse
Bright Retro Design
The Spring/Summer Patchwork Purse is detailed, handcrafted and glorious! Irresistible!
I hand pick all the juiciest and freshest cotton fabrics, add bright, fun ribbon with vintage beads or buttons.
The strap goes over the shoulder or cross body, for security, and it has an interior pocket for easy cell phone access.
The purse is 13" wide and 14" tall, and when closed it becomes the cutest pouch to carry your essentials.
Advent Calendar
This hanging is perfect for evoking that old-world home-made feeling. A beautiful way to honour family tradition. The tree is made from dark green eco-felt, appliquéd onto deep red velveteen, for that richness of the Christmas season. Every ornament is ornately embroidered in 100% cotton thread and embellished with beads and ribbon. The tree is decorated with vintage shimmering buttons, from which the ornaments hang, so that even at the beginning of the season, it twinkles.
