corn poppies wool painted on a wet felted bag, handmade

red poppies in the corn field ...

wool painted with fine merino in all natural colors - 

with the winter still going - make you hope for spring or even warm and sunny days of the summer.

A little handmade bag, wet felted only,

seamless, 20-26 cm x 25 cm.

Might be perfect for an elegant, even fancy occasion . 

Might go just as well with a summer dress or casual jeans.

The landscape on both sides of the bag. 

I like to make the backside interesting and suprising - whenever it's possible.

Once more, I used a metal frame in old gold with a chain in matching colors. I've already had some experience in sewing the frame and the bag together. It get's easier and easier every time you try. 

I like metal frames  and chains and honestly believe they add that extra look. 

An inspiration hanging on my living room wall. 

Even though I wasn't trying to copy the picture - the influence is pretty obvious. 

Poppies, wild flowers, wild nature all around - always inspire to work.
