Bits and pieces

In this post I'm gonna show you a few bits and pieces I made earlier this summer and that I was planning on selling on markets, but Madam Fate didn't want it that way, so I've still got them.

First:
This purse was supposed to be just any old purse, but then I decided to do the lid with my spiral technique and it started looking slightly like an owl and when I got an old button from a duffle coat from my neighbour to close it with it became whole. And fully an owl, complete with a beak and everything! This is really one of my favourite items.
The purse is made from wool, the button/beak is horn (I don't know from which animal) and the technique is needle binding. The measurements of the purse is 15cm (5,9") long, 21cm (8,3") wide, the lid is about 10cm (3,9") and the strap is 75cm (29,5").

Second:
A small tote bag-ish thing for carrying little things, like a wallet, glasses, things like that. This is the first time I've noticed that it looks a little bit like a squid. Again, it's made from wool and needle bound. The green decorations along the strap is embroidered in woolen yarn. The bag is 13cm (5,1") wide, 18cm (7,1") long and the strap is 82cm (32,3").

Third:
A simple pair of wrist warmers. I actually had three pairs, the white ones, a pair in forest green and another one in dark grey but I gave away the grey ones to Beate and the green ones I modified and added abit to and gave to my friend Charlotte for her birthday.
The warmers are about 6cm (2,4") in diameter and 10cm (3,9") long. They, like most other of my creations, are made from wool and needle bound.
