little houses made of felt.....

This is my new wool felt brooch series

'the house series'

each little house is made of 100% pure wool felt.

They are carefully and slowly stitched on my sewing machine,

forming individual pieces that represent love for home and family life.

I love making these sweet little dwellings

and enjoy giving each little home it's own personality.

All layers are hand cut, layered and sewn and

no two can ever be exactly the same.

 no.3

 no.2

 no.1

below is a picture of the back of no.1

I actually love the reverse almost as much as the front of these little pieces ;)

they measure approx

 5.5cm tall and 4.3cm wide :)

 

 & another two brooches from 'the circle series'

no.50

no.49

 

Hope you are having a nice week

fabric & felt collage brooches...

 I've been playing around a little with some of my fabric scraps, felt and my sewing machine...

and these little collage brooches are the end results. 

 made using layers of felt and fabric,

working the layers and stitching until I'm happy with the design.

 The smallest is approx 5cm in diam

and the largest 6cm

 I hand sewed some brooch backs on

and they are ready to wear :)

 the best things are that they are light to wear

and I get to wear a little bit of 'art' when I go out!

Have a happy day
