98th post - A giveaway on my 100th post 在我第100篇網誌送出的禮品

This is my 98th post. I'm glad that you stop by. Since March 2010 I started blogging and blabbing about my DIY crafts, travelling or my cats, I got some sweet comments and advices, all were encouraging. I even met some inspiring artists via blogging. I love this social media. As a gesture to Thank You, I'm going to send a giveaway of this merino handbag for the winner who will leave comments on my 100th blog on my special occasion which should be coming out around mid June.

這一年多以來, 我在98 篇網誌閒聊吹吹水, 說說貓語, 交流手作. 難得你路過或專程的細閱, 還有些回應, 實在使我雀躍. 為表謝意, 我將會在六月份一個我的特別日子寫第100篇網誌 , 在那篇文字留言的網友我會隨機抽一名字送出我這一件羊毛手袋. For my last 97 posts I got comments almost on each post, except this and that
- "that" was my 1st post. It elated me indeed !!

Wool felt is the craft I only know in recent two years and really hooked to it. This is a merino wool wet felt handbag with the skill of nuno felt silk chiffon flower entangled during the process of wet felting. Strips of wool & bead are detachable, the bag lining is hand stitched and there's an enclosed button made of wool and bead for easy pulling.

To join the game simply dropping by on my 100th post to say hi and I'll random pick up one name for the winner and announce on my 101th post. Love to hear from you on my coming posts.

Linking with Debbie Doos's Newbie Party

Thank you and have a nice week.

Nuno 3D flowers bag 立體絲花手袋

Fabric is art. Put the silk and migrate down into wool to make a night bag with nuno 3D flower is icing on the cake. I just made a small bag with flap - a one piece handbag for any occasion.

I stitched the interfacing and made the wool button embellished with glass beads to make easy pulling.

Tied with wool felted and glass beaded stripes.

Here's how I made it:

Loose stitched the silk pieces. Made it pedal look and pulled it into a flower then covered with some wool in between.

Laid down wool and cover the whole resist .

Laid the flap

Put the silk flowers onto the bag. The wool migrated down through the fabric, seams of flower become invisible.

The stripes are detachable. It can be used as a pouch.

I'm happy to share this. Your comments are welcome.

Thanks for viewing. Have a good day.
