Eclectic mixture of techniques and materials in this peach colored birch bark handbag.
I love the outdoors and my garden. I\'m always fascinated with the beauty of all that grows naturally. Being able to add a piece of nature into my crafts work brings a new dimension to fiber. The contrast between all the organics of yarn and bark feels correct.
This handbag started with two pieces of birch bark that I mount via a cement shoe glue onto a backing that shoes are made from. Once dried, I paint the bark and seal it. Within my stash I found a lovely pink yarn called Zia. Zia was manufactured in Italy in the 80\'s. Content: rayon and cotton. I also found within my yarns another thin yarn that has a slub in it. Content: linen. Zia and linen are knitted in a textural pattern to play with the lines (rings around the tree) in the bark\'s pattern.
Next I nuno felted over a net with soft camel and silk fibers making the felted pieces at the top portion of the handbag.
The pulls and strap are in an embroidery technique I developed. Strong and sturdy!
Inside is a beautiful designer fabric that complements the outside.
The handbag stays shut via a magnetic button. The bottom has feet to protect the knit and lend support to the piece.
Very light in weight too.
