Rococo Revival (felted/embellished clutch)

This lovely Rococo style clutch is a lovely felted sweater totally freehand cut & hand stitched/embellished to give it the light & frivolous look of the Rococo art period of painters/artists like Jean-Honore' Fragonard who painted the lovely Rococo painting 'The Swing' in 1767 during the Rococo period corresponding to the reign of Louis XV of France. In decoration the fully fledged style is characterized by decoration based on arabesques, elaborate curves, symmetry and irridescent pastel colors-very light-hearted. The handle is a golden cord and a tassel adorns each side of this clutch which has an interior pocket & a lovely gold button with a floral design complimenting the Rococo artistic period. Hand embellished with many stitch variations & several yarns & threads. This lovely Rococo Revival was inspired by the many paintings I saw in the Louvre in Paris. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by.

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
