Paris wool painted - a landscape on a wet felted bag - handmade

... we'll always have Paris...

A memory of Paris adventure captured on a hand felted bag.

The bag is just big enough for a wallet, a phone, keys and a few other necessities a woman usually carries with her; approximately 28x28 cm; Might be for special occasions or for every day arounds.

To paint this Parisian landscape I used merino wool in the wide range of colors I often like to use in my pictorial felting: from all greyish tones, shades of green, white to sky-blue and navy. 

The Parisian girl is dry felted with some black merino wool, silk fibers and Sari silk, also beaded with a few pink and emmerald green tiny beads, just to accentuate her outfit.

Allthough the colors on this picture are obviously unnatural, it exposes some details unvisible otherwise, like  this little, pink, pre-felted skirt, which is tridimmensional.

Seems like I'm already addicted to the concept of painting landscapes with merino wool on my hand felted bags. I know, that my vision of the process is different than other felters', because I learned felting techniques on my own, mostly by experimenting. That makes my pictorial felting unique. 

My head is full of ideas for next landscape wool-painting projects.

Too many ideas,, too little time to felt. 

And only 16 chocolates left in my Christmas calender!
