Description:Misselthwaite Manor is a gorgeous knitted/felted, needle felted, embellished piece of fiber art. Two stunningly beautiful hand beaded handles compliment the colors in this piece. I knitted & felted this piece, adding lovely roving to create flowers in a 'secret' garden by needle felting in various shades which compliment this piece. Stunningly beautiful hand embroidery surrounds the base of this piece giving it the look of a flower garden. The embroidery encircles the entire base of this piece. A felted interior pocket is embellsihed and felted with a lovely yarn added to continue the garden theme. Gorgeous trim is hand stitched to the interior top edge & compliments the colors in the felted piece. The twice reinforced interior base is covered with a hand tie dyed fabric which gives the interior of this piece the continued look of a garden.Wispy grasses & stems of twisted roving make the front of this bag a floral fantasy. Misselthwaite Manor is a place in the movie/stage play called "The Secret Garden" (novel by Frances Burnett 1909). The three children find a way into the secret garden & work astonishing magic in themselves & those around them lifting the spell from the mysterious Misselthwaite Manor. Thank you for stopping by.
