Red textile collage,fabrics, lace, slow stitching, felt - ' Life and Love'.

I love showing my work on this blog but I do wonder if anyone ever looks at it as I never seem to get any messages. If you do come to read my blog here PLEASE could you let me know even if it is just I DO. Much appreciated.

 I've called this piece - 'Life and love' as the colour red is known to bring good luck, happiness and prosperity at any time of the year not just at Christmas.

My life revolves around textiles and felt of which I sell via the internet. I would much rather prepare fabrics and lace for sale or make beautiful felt pieces than sit at the computer. BUT alas it has to be done. SO now you know what I am doing all day today.

Felt brooch, sparkling island. Ideal Christmas gift

Just put this lovely felt brooch into my

 etsy shop

 My inspiration for this pretty felt brooch was a sparkling island and the sea as the sun shone down on them.

 I make all of my felt by hand layering wool fibres together and wet felting them so that the fibres become entangled creating a firm felt fabric. For this brooch, I have also added some silk fibres to give more texture. I machined around various areas of the island which has raised them up and added french knots in antique metallic silver thread. Running stitches in the same thread have been added to the sea.

Vintage fabric and pin on the reverse.

 

 The felt brooch will be packaged securely in a box. I will then place the box in a plastic postage bag to keep dry.

 

ONLY £6.50 and ideal little Christmas present

My inspiration for for this pretty felt brooch was a country garden.

I make all of my felt by hand, using Merino wool fibres. By using the wet felting method, I get the the wool fibres to entangle together to create a firm felt fabric. The machine stitching I have used on the felt brooch has raised some areas creating small flower beds which I filled with embroidery. A variety of stitches were used using vintage recycled silk threads. Further texture was added by using 1930’s rococco ribbon flowers. I also added on this brooch two other lilac vintage flowers, to make this felt brooch unique.

Felt brooch with silk embroidery, Christmas colours

Just put this lovely brooch in my etsy shop.

CLICK HERE TO BUY

  A felt brooch made with merino wool and silk in wonderful multiple shades on a white background. Great Christmas colours.

The four seed pods are made from antique silks which I make on the embellisher machine by layering together different silks. I have then machine stitched around the seed pods which makes them stand up slightly proud. These add further texture to the brooch. I have hand embroidered the stems with tiny chain stitches using a fine antique goldwork thread. French knots complete the embellishments.

 The reverse has had the addition of decovil light fabric for further strength and this was then covered with a 1960's vintage fabric. Finally a good strong pin has been stitched to the reverse side.

 The felt brooch measures approx 9cms /3.5"long x 4.5cms/1.8" at the widest point.

Ideal for a Christmas gift.
