Oak Leaf Hooked Bag - Hand Marbled Wool

Description

An original, one of a kind wool bag by Sally Van Nuys.

This beautiful bag is large enough for travel, work, or just around the town. I hooked the oak leaf motif and wide border on the front of the bag using wool that I hand marbled and overdyed. Double handles are sewn in and a large burgundy antique button provides the stability for the wool loop closure.

The back of the bag has a hooked block of two beautiful textured wools - the cream and camel checked wool I used for the handles forms the outer border of the block and a lovely tobacco wool fills the center.

The linen foundation of this bag forms the outer border around the hooked panels and there are side insets of the cream and camel checked wool, which allow this bag to open wide! Bag has a stabilized flat bottom.

Measures 12 x 11 x 4 inches with a handle drop of 14 inches (you can carry it comfortably on your shoulder if you wish.)

The bag is the model used for the project photo shoot at Create and Decorate magazine.
