This little bridal bag was inspired
by organic underwater matter.
It is made from wet felted merino and silk fibres followed by lots of had
beading and is also fully lined with bridal fabric. (perfect size for
keeping your phone and keys close by) I think this would look good in dark
colours for an evening accessory as well.

I made this for a friend's wedding. She
wore a silk 50's dress which I
made for her and wanted a bag and shoulder wrap to go with it as she was
being married in her home country of Denmark and it would be a very icy time
of year. I was lucky enough to attend the wedding I Faska and was totally
surprised to see a stunning sight of a water fountain frozen in time in the
air just along from the wedding venue. I walked along a coast road the day
after but couldn't see the sea because of a thick fog, I can imagine it to
be very beautiful in the summer time though.

I spotted this picture whilst looking
through photographs today and was
immediately transported back to my time in
Dharamshala almost a year ago. We
had every type of weather whilst there, one day
lovely sunshine, followed by
torrential rain, hail and frost you name it, we
experienced it. A most
powerful memory was being totally lost in a
hailstorm, lacking in the
appropriate clothing then coming across a little
café Rogpa Café which we
had been looking for in McCloud. We rolled in soaked
but our souls were
uplifted with some wonderful music being played,
the offer of Vegan
chocolate cake, out of the world in taste, and
piping hot lemon, fresh
ginger and honey tea. We were in heaven. It turned
out we were only about
half a mile from our hotel so all was well. We
went back to the Café again
later in the week to savour more of the delicious
cake and ginger tea it was
a must before we moved on in our trip. The photo
has also reminded me that I
want to put my flags up in my garden now that I am
settled here in my new
abode. Firstly I need to choose a significant day
and area to place them,
maybe I will wait until the builders have finished
the outdoor work before
doing so.
oh to be back in that
wonderful country, need I say more!!!
Who couldn't be inspired by all this colour? what memories this evokes for
me.
Our driver came to us a breakfast and offered to drive us backwards some 8
miles on our trip to attend this festival if we wanted him to. As a result
we spent the day, 2 westerners in a sea of about 4 thousand locals who were
celebrating a festival. A festival which seemed to involve what looked like
a competition of teams of men 'drumming'.
There was food, elephants, all the normal fun of the market place with it.
I was bowled over with the friendliness of all the people, they wanted to
practice their little English with us, shake hands and take pictures. We
felt so humble and tickled pink at the way we were being treated like
Royalty.
