Accessorize with your jewellery making

When inspiration for your jewellery making projects is slow why not take inspiration from your wardrobe and use it as an opportunity to accessorize?  Individualised accessories can turn plain into perfection!  Recently I turned to my felt stash to create this funky flower brooch…..

to compliment this bold retro print top:

Inspiration was taken from one flower from which I made my own paper pattern.  I layered up the felt embellishing it with my favourite embroidery stitch - chain stitch.  The introduction of metallic thread keeps it up-to-date and the addition of a brooch bar on the back provides maximum versatility for positioning on the garment.

Accessorizing is fun, looks good and makes you feel great!
