500 BROOCHES!?!!

I found this book '500 brooches', by Lark Books. It is fascinating, so I've chosen a selection of brooches that I think are both beautiful and wearable. There were some pretty weird ones, like the brooch made out of crack vial caps, or the one made from dental plastic...and tears!

Photos of 100 of the brooches from the book can be found at http://www.velvetdavinci.com/

A couple of round brooches I made a while ago.

Thank you to Catkin and Teasel for the lovely photo of my brooches.

My Nanna embroidered this pillow case in the 70s. She is so creative and clever.

She is now 88 years old and is working on a new stitched pillow for me.
