The focal is triangular so I tried my hand at capturing this shape by embezzling it in seed beads
Since the bezel worked, I added the glass faceted beads and the gold tone metal circles
I wasn't certain what I was going to make with this, but then decided to make a brooch (I have never made a brooch before) so I chose this cream colored leather (which was soooo thick and a bit complicated to sew)
I finished it by lining it with amber colored rounds and glued on the pin back

Nice, Dee! I hadn't thought of using a triangular piece for a broach. Pretty! Thanks for being in the hop!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! The brooch turned out really well. I would wear it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great brooch. I love the way you encased it with the seed bead bezel and then added the other beads. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have never made a broach before either. What a great job. It looks like a lovely Holiday piece. Thanks for sharing
