Blue Hand Felted Floral Brooch edition #6

This blue multi-coloured floral felted pin is the sixth brooch I created, edition #6.

This button is from the late 20th century when women's fashion included buttons on their garments. The center of this button has a steel cut filigree cage like star placed on top of a carved purple white shell. Circa 1890s.

To create this brooch I work with coloured carded wool fleece, needle felting the wool  into a unique design.  It is then hand sewed and beaded with a lock brooch pin on the back.

The dimensions are: width = 1 7/8" and the length 2 3/4".

Hope you enjoy!
