Brooch with a Bear

It's been raining here in Southern Ontario the past few days, so I've been able to get a bit of stitching done.

This beautiful brooch was created using re-purposed denim from a worn out pair of jeans, some blue felt fabric, embroidery floss and a mish-mash of beads from my stash

New Stuff

I've been adding new Brooches and Pictures to my Etsy Shop.

You can see a list of some items on the side there, which are linked to the shop.

I like to incorporate recycled materials such as fabric from jeans and t-shirts to the designs..

Felt fabric is often dyed using watercolour paints or acrylics.

Embroidery is free form with beads added for sparkle and texture.

Here is my latest brooch creation. -
