So here is step 1 using a 10x10 piece of black felt I layered and needle felted wool roving. Some merino and some kid mohair,I also had added some swirls and a bit of silk roving for some sheen. 

after I have added and felted several layers I add some of the charms I am using in this under the sea piece. Also many pearls and crystals add to the picture. Love lots of beads. 

Next I add the embellished piece of silk fusion which was my inspiration for this shadow box. The fusion is hand sewn as are all the beads. 

And finished. I should have taken  a photo before i put it in the frame but I got a bit excited and did the frame and then remembered the picture. anyway I am really pleased with the end result. 
And I am set to do another but first I need to make dinner and pick up my delightful grandson from day care. 

2 of the newly felted bags are completed. The red one has a fimo clay button in black and grey with a pop of red.

Then there is the purple one with a fun flap in a pink and purple mix of a fluffy fibre

Each bag has a magnetic closure and silk lining.

Today needle felting shadow box with silk fusion sculpture.

Excited to get my knitted bags felted and it was the first thing I did this morning. Here are the photos:

the before and after pictures.

The bags are now set up in front of the fireplace drying. Tomorrow I will add the lining and the closures and they will be ready to be posted in the on line store.
Please click on the red pictures to get the full picture.

Spent several hours today uploading and setting up my store. I have added bags, pins, scarf rings, and vases. It is truly amazing what happens when one works with the tutorials provided. I have 2 new knitted bags to felt; 
The pictures below show the bags before they are felted.

The red bag will be a small felted satchel bag lined with red or gold silk and will have no pocket. 
The multi coloured bag is a "bubble" bag it will be lined with 2 pockets and has one strap that makes this a shoulder bag. 
Both will have a magnetic closure and a fun complimentary button.
Come back tomorrow and I will have pictures of the next stage of the bag process. 
Cheers 

So setting up a website and including a store is not for the faint of heart. I am most grateful for my lovely daughter JRD who has been so patient and helpful in my process!!

Life is always busy and this weekend we are moving my mom who is going to be 90 into a new apartment! Makes me wonder if the stress of moving is close to the stress of navigating web set up!!! If so my stress meter is high which might explain how I have just locked my keys in my car😞 oh well home to get the 2nd set 😏

Web site store will be for tomorrow🌻
