Or I might make it into a hair clip. I’ve no memory of making the little dark brown felted dreadlock that forms the basis of this spiral brooch, but I found it in the pile of unfinished things I’ve been working through over half term.
It rolled up easily and neatly and a selection of gold, amber and blue beads worked together very well for the edging.
That was short and sweet. (Wish they were all like that!)

I like the idea of a “felted dreadlock”. The brooch is unusual and absolutely lovely.
it looks so uniquely beautiful, I love the beading 🙂
Catching up on your last couple of posts, great to have finished all these projects but it’s good to have a wip box to dip into, then inspiration strikes! Enjoyed part 2 of your holiday journal, just beautiful, specially the wrapped driftwood, lovely.
It’s always a little disconcerting to find something you have no memory of, but you turned it into something delightful!
How much fun to find a hidden treasure amongst your set aside things.
Lovely idea…..you did a perfect job. Reminds me….I must get out my WIP box sometime soon
