I’ve been playing with small things over the Christmas period, like this single earring drop and a section of a felt sample I made for a lesson at school. Combined and embroidered a bit more, they became the front of a brooch.
Whipped back stitch to hold down the drop with a scrap of thick silk thread couched down underneath it.
The plain lilac felt back was secured with a beaded blanket stitch using some greyish purple delicas…
…and then the natural (deliberately wobbly) bottom edge was finished with a fringe of delicas, seed and pearl beads.
A nice quick little project and a good way of using up odds and ends of beads, threads and felt.

Lovely – a very successful piece!
Charming.
Very effective. I love the colours.
Thanks for visiting. I hope the panto is successful.
Super – really love the colours you’ve used.
we will have to try to get together once the weather improves, I don’t think you are far away from me, Tina and Julie
That sounds like a great idea – I’m in Scunthorpe, so not that far, I suspect!
Maybe Lincoln? Or Doncaster?
I’d prefer Lincoln (I know it much better) but either would be fine. 😉 Alex
this one has a very lovely surface Alex, the felt, the stitch. I hope you had a wonderful New Year.
