Blue Hand Felted Heart Brooch edition #20

This blue heart felted brooch pin is the twentieth brooch I created, edition #20.

This button is from the late 20th century when women's fashion included buttons on their garments. Such an exquisite button design starting in the center with a 6 pointed star steel cut facetted onto a carved shell that's insetted into a carved steel cut rim. Circa 1860s.

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 = 2 " and the length 2 1/8".

Hope you enjoy!
