i made this brooch as a birthday present for my Aunty Jane it is made from some textured silk that was left over from bridesmaid dresses
some recycled netting and two different silky/satin fabrics
continuing with my suffolk puff obsession i made two puffs added a vintage dark mother-of-pearl shanked button
and then cut differing sizes of net and fabrics singing the synthetics
but leaving the silk rough edged
i then sewed them altogether and added a brooch pin.
i hope she likes it,
i feel bad as it is a week since her birthday
but i've still not got it together to see her or get her gift to her.
it has been a busy and difficult week and this week i think will be busy too but hopefully less difficult,
it is the boys birthday on Tuesday and i have no idea how those five years went so very quickly.
Right i'm off to soft play hell for his party, where's the nurofen?

vV I LOVE this! Beautiful work, I bet she'll adore it. I've been eyeing up the singeing technique but I'm terrified of setting myself/the house on fire ;)
