Delicious oddments of yarns, the simple tool of a
crochet hook and a piece of rug canvas can pave the way
to making a original designer hand bag.
This bag, made by Coralie Miles, shows the exciting
colours and textures that can be achieved from breaking
'the rules'. Coralie hand spun her yarns using
both natural coloured and dyed wool tops, creating a
palette of colours (see also Coralie's
needle felted
animals and her hand
spun skeins). The stiff rug canvas can be cut to
shape and the fibres and yarns woven into it. When
the work is complete, the dressing is washed out of the
canvas so that it becomes soft and flexible. |
