crochet cameo brooches


i've been making these sweet vintage cameo brooches
with thrifted brooches and thrifted crochet doilies
and ribbons

but as is the way with using thrifted supplies
i only have one of these cameos!

which is a shame 'cause i'm trying to make things to go in my shops
but i really want to keep this one!

so next i made this one with an altered button,
i have stamped a bird on a distressed/aged metal button and then varnished it.


i actually LOVE this one too but it is going in my FOLKSY shop!

    They are both fantastic. I love the idea of stamping the button and varnishing it.

    I really like that last one too. It's hard to let go of certain things!
