Hello, thanks for coming over for a visit.....
I whipped up a little Hedgie brooch today and wanted to share him with you as I do love a brooch or two or three or four or five or more!!
I spied a set of fab little Woodland stamps over at Modes website and resistance was futile, so I just gave in and bought them......
Well, it was a Mother's Day gift to myself.......
♥♥♥♥
Stamp on some calico and add some some hand stitching here and there.
I'm sticking with the Bluebell theme ❀❀❀
I fused it onto some recycled blanketing and then added the
free motion embroidery.
I felt it needed a bit more body, so fused it again to another piece of woollen fabric
Stitched around the border once more to add definition and texture then....
Added a brooch back and ........
Voila.......it's ready to wear.
Apologies for the lack of a good close up, my little camera, doesn't like taking them, hmmm!

A simple and fun little project.
I plan to use a few more of these stamps and turn them into brooches.
Maybe I'll do a series of Woodland brooches.......
I'm joining in with lots of other crafty people over here.
Hope you are all having a crafty & creative week.
Now I must go and finish packing my case as my flight leaves in a couple of hours......

Lookout Queensland, there's a lady with a Hedgehog brooch on her cardi coming to visit, hehe.
Take Care,
Claire ❀❀❀

Hello from Sunny Spain,
ReplyDeleteI'm a fairly new follower to your blog. :-)
What a very pretty brooch,so original and it looks pretty easy to make..... I'd say that will bring more than one comment when you wear it.
Enjoy yourself in Queensland. If you go to Brisbane take the boat cruise down the river if you can its wonderful.

ReplyDeleteHello Dear Claire (haven't got your parcel off yet sorry) had to laugh I was reading your post....and reading....and reading...and I thought "Gee this is a loooong one" then I realised I was into the next post as well! It turns out you have been doing lots and lots of clever things that I haven't caught up with for some time! Makes for a good sit down and a read though. I know you are really enjoying yourself with this autumn weather. My absolute favourite thing is your autumn trees cosy and my favourite Claire Quote was when you saw the woodland stamp set and "resistance was futile..." LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteLots of Love, Tanya

I have lots of stamps from papercrafting and I hadn't thought to use them as templates for embriodery. What kind of ink pad did you use? Lily. xxx

ReplyDeleteso cute! I would be stamping that little rabbit onto absolutely everything!
