This organic oval brooch has been made from lace fabric that I have created myself from muslin and scraps of lace and silk and free motion embroidery. I then embellished this with chain stitch stems, each ending in either a mother of pearl button or a small bead. Around the edges of the floweres I used french knots and a variegated blue embroidery thread to create a 'sky' and a cluster of yellow french knots to depict the 'sun'. Along the base of the brooch I used the same green embroidery threads that I used for the flower stems to create a bed of french knots.
The back of the brooch is made from white felt and has a kilt-style pin to attach the brooch to your clothes and an Elsie May and Bertha label. To complete the brooch the edges have been bound with blanket stitch.
