Picasso really liked the bag before.

But he REALLY liked the bag afterwards.

It shrank up a fair bit, didn’t it? And I attached a leather belt (more where these came from! LOTS MORE!) and loved the scale of them against the bag.

I love the texture of felted manos… sort of bumpy and nubbly. And the colors, they melded together well, I think… and the top band is the right touch.

In this last picture, you can just barely see the green that’s really there in person. It’s like brown green purple, depending on the light… very cool.

I think this bag deserves to be lined… More on that later.

  1. Oh, it is GORGEOUS!! I need to make another felted tote bag sometime, since the kitties have stolen mine for a kitty bed.


  2. Beautiful! That really came out nice. I like the way the colors work together.


  3. Ha-cha-cha! I like the color progression and love the shape, too! Perfect for toting around the Picasso or whatnot :-)
