Even though it has a strap and a magnetic closure I'm not sure this bag is done. I've been looking at it for ages without the top folded over and it just wasn't working out. Folding the top over and buttoning it down helped. The strap made it even better. The flower still might get more needle felting. I'm really pleased with the bright yellow happy pocket interior.
I had a bag full of seashells that I've wanted to incorporate into a felted bag. I thought about felting a face and using the shells for eyes, but the lavender color might have looked either creepy or vacant. Anyway, I like them just as plain shells with some art yarn scribbled around them. 
Okay, I thought I had finished with this theme of scarves, but with St. Patrick's day right around the corner I had to do just one more in green. This one is wide enough to be a wrap and has lots of tussah silk shot through the white area.
covered the blue felted stripe with a summery cotton batik and added trim around the inside edge and along the handles. I'm not sure if it's finished yet, but it's looking much better.
Here's an inspiration photo and a project in progress photo for comparison. The flower still needs some attention before I wet felt it. This will be a handbag when it's done. The wool underneath the green is a natural buff color which will work its way through. Maybe a bit of dark brown in the background will make the flower pop?
Spring is still just a glimmer in my imagination, but it is coming! The red oak in the picture hasn't even thought about buds yet. I've started ruffled edge scarves for the next season. All contain merino wool, but yellow and the two with the white centers also contain tussah silk. The black edged one has gray yak fiber mixed in, and the lavender, yellow, and turquoise contain bamboo fiber. All are felted with Dr. Bronner's organic soap.
