Hand Felted Peacock Clutch and Hand Bag

I have made both of these bags especially for the Holmfirth ArtWeek Exhibition, which is held at The Civic Hall from the 1st-7th of July 2012 for more information please visit the website: http://www.holmfirthartweek.org.uk/about/artweek-main-event/ This is a large charity event supporting Macmillan Cancer Support and 20% of all purchases goes to the charity. ALL ARE WELCOME! :P


Price: £75.00


I have made these bags based on a peacock theme and have used a green and blue base colour that blends together beautify. I have used a mixture of White, light and dark blue silk fibres and glitter fibres to add contrast and textures which are vibrant and catch the light. Both bags have been lined with a two tone blue and green silky fabric which is very "Peacock". The impression of the feather is the most decorative element to these bags, I created a stylised peacock feather and used a silver metallic fabric paint. This has a sparkle to it and catches the light.


The hand bag features a 10inch bronze coloured stiletto clasp which compliments the colour scheme and has leather look handles. The interior of this bag has a pocket large enough for an iPhone or smart phone and also has a large 6.5 inch zip pocket for those essentials!


The clutch features an 8inch clasp which is silver, (looks bronze on the pic) the silver peacock feather matches the clasp and ties in nicely with the white silk fibres used. This bag also has a pocket which would hold a small smart phone.


Price:£45.00
