PURSE-SNICKETY
Felted Purses by Connie
Since Connie doesn't use any patterns, but instead, takes an idea
and allows it to develop as she works with her beautiful yarns,
each of these creations is as unique as the person carrying it.
After the purse has been felted she lets it tell her how it wants
to be decorated. This makes each purse an individual piece of
wearable art.

Connie
retired from teaching in 2008. As a co-director of a charter school
during the last five years of her career she put her heart and soul
into educating the child – the whole child – with much
emphasis given to her favorite subject, art.
She
still shares her love and knowledge of art with children and teachers
whenever she gets the chance.
These
days Connie's thing is yarn. It's as though a lifetime of gathering
stories, wisdom and great dose of whimsy are woven into expression
through these delightful treasures. |
