This purse shoulder bag is NUNO(*below) felted of fine Merino wool, incorporating Silk fabric, Viscose fiber, and silk ribbon as design elements. It has two straps of natural wool fashioned into cords and needler felted to the bag. The bag is overall a burnt orange color palette, with hues of green and gold in the silk ribbon and silk fabric on one side and patterns created with metallic yarns and darker Merino wool on the other side. This shoulder tote is very strong, spacious, and eye catching, with a soft and durable interior (see bag interior photo). The last photo actually shows the bag turned inside-out. The bag is roundish in shape, measuring approximately 12 inches at it's widest and 12 inches at it's tallest/deepest, not including the handle straps. Bright and cheery are the words of the day for this creation!

*NUNO FELTING: The name is derived from the Japanese word "nuno" meaning cloth. The technique bonds loose fibre, usually wool, into a sheer fabric such as silk gauze, creating a lightweight felt. The fibres can completely cover the background fabric, or they may be used as a decorative design that allows the backing fabric to show. Nuno felting creates an extremely versatile fabric and is particularly suitable for lightweight creations, allowing for movement and drape. The use of silk or other stable fabric in the felting process creates fabric that will not stretch out of shape. Fabrics such as nylon, muslin, or other open weaves can be used as the felting background, resulting shops in a wide range of textural effects and colors.
