Sea Creature Sacks

Galina Blazejewska's Felted Octopus Purse is Cute and Crafty

— February 21, 2012 — Art & Design
A girl would never mistake her friend's coin or cosmetic purse for her own if she had a felted octopus purse. Cute and crafty, this sea creature sack is one of a kind. Although it will take up quite a bit of space in bags, the soft material and colorful character will make it worth it.

Created by Galina Blazejewska (also known as GalaFilc), the felted octopus purse is modeled after a template and boasts no seams. As an artist based in Poland, Blazejewska is surrounded by exotic inspiration on a daily basis. In this case, she looked towards the Baltic Sea for some underwater ideas.

Available in two colors, purple and brown, the felted octopus purse has a classic nickel purse frame. It is easy to clean by hand with soap water.
