I decided the "tote" deserved a closer look so here are the close up pics with detail hopefully more clear!
This was a really really fun piece.

The Pink Satin Duo
I have been playing lately and managed to come up with a new blouse. Pink poly satin and some lovely sheer organza print for trim.
Of course, it screamed at me for a matching "fun" bag so scraps in hand (gotta' save them scraps ya know) I went for the felting machine (what else?).
The white canvas tote was one of three in a package purchased from the craft store with a 50% off coupon (hee-hee) and so the package of three cost about $3.50.
I took one of the bags, slipped it onto the Xpression machine, grabbed the scrap fabrics and cut into odd pieces and strips. When finished, I went to my humongoid yarn stash (yep, HUMONGOID it is) and found a ribbon yarn to accent the fabric pieces and felted that on randomly....very randomly, lol.
Here you have the bag; purely fun, fun, fun!
Only wish I had more time (not more fabric, I have plenty)
