Purple love - wool felt lavender box 羊毛薰衣草寶盒

I have a passion of France. The romantic purple and fragance of lavender I adore most and always reminds me of Provence.  The lavender fields in Provence and the stone houses are just the beauty of the country.

 

 This wool felt box holds the treasures and good memories of the country.

I used to make ceramics. This tray was made years ago with painting of a village and paddies.  Just came to my mind why not making some small houses cross over my wool felt ?  

For a trial,  I made a few houses with paper clay to go with my wool felt box.  Next time I must do ceramic houses which are more adorable.  I don't want to give up ceramics. 

Steps of making :

1. After almost felted the round shape, cut the lid with 3cm left;

2. Put on some wool on the lid as lavender field, continue rolling and make it to a box shape;

3. Embellished with some glass beads;

4. & 5. Crochetted and needle sewed around the rim. 

Embellished with some glass beads and stitched on the little house.

Inside the box bottom I intended to make the "inner hole".

This box can be a little treasure box to hold little goodies.

  Added  beads and  some amethyst around the box.   Isn't it pretty?

Lavender fields and the ancient stone house in Gorde, Provence.    

Love France, love lavender.......
