I have been thinking about expanding into brooches / corsages for some time, so I thought the ideal opportunity would be to make a gift for my lovely mum on mothers day. I used the same techniques as I have been with the pictures, but of course the brooch was smaller and a lot more fiddly. I used my mum's favourite colours, praying that she would be wearing them today (she was!)
It started off larger than this, but I trimmed it down, as I didn't want it to look like a rosette.
And I finished it all off with a little label - well there's nothing wrong with self-promotion is there?
Totally handcrafted, and made with lots of love! Happy mothers day mum! x
Cool gift ideas! Glad I saw this post. I've got an idea. Looking forward for your next post. Keep posting.
