I recently finished a few more of my
hand painted clutches. As you may remember, I enjoy finding clutches at thrift stores and then giving them a fresh new looks. Here is what I have done lately.
The
first is blue and a bit more subtle than some of my previous ones. I decided to go with a blue jay and add some hints of purples. I also added black outlines to some of the fabric details to help tie the whole piece together. I'm really pleased with the result.
The
second is an experiment that resulted in success. I tried covering the clutch with two different fabrics this time and liked the added detail this gave. I kept my painting simple and did a flower rather than my traditional bird. It's definitely a bold look but would be a great gift for anyone who loves color.
You can see all of my clutches
here in my
etsy shop. I'm hoping to add some more over the next few months.
These look great! I love how you outlined the fabric to tie the whole piece together on the first one. And the flower is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! The little trio of flowers is my favorite detail.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job, Jenny! I love both of them. They are really unique.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pieces! And I love the idea of taking something old and giving it a new face too.
ReplyDeleteSo original and creative!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love that beautiful blue jay one! You've really incorporated the material of the clutch well with your painting!
ReplyDeletethe clutches are beautiful. What kind of pen did you use to outline? A special fabric pen or just an ordinary colorfast, acid-free? It worked great! {:-D
ReplyDeleteI used a sharpie. I found that this writes really well on the surface and then holds up to additional coats of sealer.
DeleteI really love that blue jay one! Gorgeous details & colors.
