Funky brooches

Finally I got around to making something with the blank brooches I found.

Using felt spikes from a hair band and some sparkly Angelina fibers and some seed beads these are the results so far.......

 

Some of the brooches are 1 inch wide and some are 1.5 inches (2.5 cm /3.75cm)

Each spike differs in length but all are approx 4inches long (10cm)

Coin purse/ phone pockets

I have once again been busy making purses. These are simple coin purses but they are just as easy to use as a mini make up bag for in your handbag or as phone pockets. I have used new and recycled fabrics some of which are vintage!!!

They fasten with velcro and each has a tiny bell attached for use as an anti theft device.

Patchwork wallet..

This week I made a wallet for a friend. She had a purse but it was old and she fancied a new one. The ols purse had a coin, note and credit card section and she wanted the new purse to be the same.

I wasn't sure I could manage it technically but hey no harm in trying.

Here is the finished result. Fortunately for me my friend loved it and it is now in her possession. :)

The notes section

 The front

 The back

The whole of the inside with credit card slots

The entire outside view

I am now busily making more which I can hopefully sell on my Etsy shop.

Woodland mushrooms

Mushrooms are sprouting up all over the garden. These are some of my latest creations.

 

 

 

 

Another mushroom

I have been busy making mushrooms again. This one is giant at about 40 inches tall with a cap of about 30 inches The materials used are recycled fabrics and old clothes.

 

The decorations are buttons and jewellery from my own 'collection'. Here you can see details of the cap with bed and sequin work.

The stem is made using an old stripey scarf.
