Tonight is our Annual Holiday Party at the gallery. My Hand Woven Fiber Amulet Bags Adorned with beads are among the art on our artist member show wall.
Some have large European Glass Vintage Beads adorning the front of the bag and some have fresh water pearls or lampwork.
The fringe is adorned with seed beads and larger beads from all over the world. I sew through each fringe with the seed beads to strengthen each one and the weight of the beads give the fringe a joyful swing.
Some of these bags were woven on the Harrisville Lap Loom A and some were woven tubular double weave on my Schacht Baby Wolf Loom.
Most of the yarn is my hand spun. You will also find novelty yarn, soy silk, silk, bamboo and some ribbon. Each fiber amulet bag is a one of a kind piece. You can wear it or just hang it on the wall for adornment.
The red fiber bags are my favorite and they seem to sell first. Right now I am working on a natural beige fiber bag. It will be in the gallery before the week is over.
I have a knitted kit and a woven kit put together so everyone can make their own fiber amulet bag at home or in a fiber class.
